Don't... Most jobs suck. There's no way around it. Most jobs have aspects that you just don't want to do. That's why you get paid rather than you pay. You need to figure out how to make your current job fit your needs, financial and psychological.
One thing you can do is to decide how much it takes for you to retire in a more affordable part of the country and work until you reach it at the fastest rate.
Starting a successful business is harder than what you imagine and you'll be surprised how quickly it sucks up your money. Don't put your self in a situation where you have to find whatever job comes along because you are desperate for money.

- tsetse 9y agoThank you for the response. Remote work not an option even though it's FANG (trust me I tried), college fund already established and enough money in it, not mentioned in post.

- fulafel 9y agoMany high paying jobs suck, but there are salary jobs positioned variously on the satisfaction-pay spectrum. You can apply tech knowledge in other places besides big tech companies and still get paid - eg NGOs, arts/culture, research, small tech consultancy doing a 4 day week with emphasis on life-work balance, etc. Making a lot of money at miserable jobs and retiring young is a valid alternative strategy, depends on whether there are any satisfying jobs for you. But if you can't imagine one, it may be a sign of burnout...
- watwut 9y ago"Have aspects you dont like" and "can't really stand my job" are two fundamentally different statements. It is not the same. Majority if tech jobs are not "high stress" either. They are "somewhat stress" at max.

- herbst 9y agoI think there is a huge difference if you do things that suck for the success for your own company (plus outsource that more and more) than doing the same for a company you at best have some options for shares.
