Here's the thing, though. We don't even get a choice. I tried for YEARS to engineer a long-term part-time career in the software industry, and I couldn't get it to happen. I'm perfectly happy to trade more free time for less money, but there are just no takers out there. The industry isn't interested.
- infinite8s 10y agoDid you try freelancing?
- smcdow 10y agoFreelancing is good if you want to work 40+ hours per week for a limited duration, and then perhaps take some time off before the next job. What I wanted is 20-25 hours per week indefinitely (and with job security).
