This will give you a great salary and a lot of freedom which you can use to start exploring other aspects of life that are more fulfilling.
- cgh 10y agoYes. I switched to remote-only in 2006 and never looked back. Like the submitter, I don't live in SV (small-town Canada) and I don't touch front-end work, but I do work for a SV BigCo. So while my salary isn't much more than his, it goes a lot further. I think that's one of the secrets to an effective, if not absolute, high salary. Also, you get control of your time. Because I have no commute, I can start at say 7 am, take time during the day to work out in my home gym, then finish up around dinner. My evenings are always free. In summary, Mr. Submitter: 1. Land remote work. 2. Live somewhere cheap. Now you have more money and more time. Your woman problem will fix itself when you stop caring. Keep lifting heavy, find humour where you can and buy some decent clothes.
- radicality 10y agoAre you very high up in the SV BigCo? The only people I hear of working remotely at these big companies are people important enough that they can live wherever they want (for example Kent Beck at FB who lives in Oregon on a farm)
