I work on databases(SQL, ETL); 7+ years ;now working for a large consulting co. I can't freelance because I am on a visa .I know the obvious answer is networks, but I am new and looking for any sources that I am not aware of

Have you tried a keyword search on Linkedin? You'll find a number of individuals who specialize in contract staffing for your space.

Adriana Abadi @ Andiamo NYC might a good contact > https://www.linkedin.com/in/adriana-abadi-44b480112/

If you're in NYC, I know a few people who might be able to help you out; shoot me an email (in profile).

Can you freelance using a boutique consulting or are you looking for full time with them? I like to know because I am looking for something like this as well.

Thanks, I usually get calls/emails from staffers but often they are not up to the mark , I am primarily looking for finding firms with a good reputation (and that way compensation)

I don't think I'd throw away remote opportunities if they are available.
