This is what I'm doing right now; I work four days a week. It is amazing and I don't think I will go back to full-time unless there is an extraordinarily compelling opportunity (and that doesn't mean FANG).
One benefit is I'm able to shift my off-days to Fridays and the next Monday to get a 4 day weekend, every once in a while. For example, I have a friend overseas visiting me this weekend; and that's what I'm doing.
There are a couple others here who are on non-FT contracts, so it hasn't been that odd.
I'm curious how 75% time works. Would you work 4 days a week, with one of the days being a quarter shorter?
- itamarst 8y agoThe person I interviewed in that link who has been doing this for 15 years has seen many different arrangements depending on the company's needs, HR rules, and the like: 1. X hours per week, spread out however. 2. Specific day off per week (so I guess you could do 1.5 days off?) 3. Lots of extra guaranteed unpaid leave/vacation that he could use as he wanted. I've done 35 hours a week, and I just have longer and shorter days, based on personal needs, when I have meetings, the weather, etc. :)
