Freelancer needed, I give up! (transitioning from another platform)

Hello there,
I have a fun one here.
I currently do all the modeling for my company a different platform. I purchased Onshape last year to move away from another CAD platform, and have not transitioned to Onshape for a variety of reasons. Primarily, I do not have time to sift through their documentation, go to their classes, and then make mistakes/trials to figure it out. I am posting this opportunity for two reasons:
1) I need someone who can take my current active models/assemblies and remodel them in Onshape
2) I need someone who can take time with me (via zoom or something similar, or in person) to figuratively hold my hand through modeling my parts/assemblies in Onshape so that I can learn Onshape. The hold up is not CAD knowledge, but mostly that I am aware if I take the wrong approach to modeling in Onshape (or any new CAD package), I will set myself back from if it is done correctly within the workflow of Onshape from day 1. I am fairly efficient in Solidworks with building parametric models/assemblies, and I want to limit the pain of moving to new software by employing an expert to assist with case specific training and support. If this works out (from a skill point of view and that we work well together), it can turn into a long term contract role where you would handle modeling/detailing/documentation for my company with my oversight. Thank you!

Sounds like you have the right approach. @fnxf and @xTimRice are excellent Onshapers.

A few years ago, I successfully switched from Autodesk Inventor to Onshape.
I also wrote a report about it which was published in a design magazine. (report is in German)

What kind of parts and assemblies do you have?
We can use Zoom to show you the best way to handle the parts and assemblies in Onshape.
The ownership of Onshape documents can be easily transferred to you.
Any additional info on this? Like the name of the company you work for? I'm noticing you joined Oct. 24. How does that line up with your having purchased onshape last year? Forgive me. I'm rather paranoid.
