>The issue with number 3 is for the employer, not the employee. GitLab doesn't want demotivated/unhappy employees to stick around: they want them to actively look for other opportunities and leave. Sounds reasonable to me.
I disagree. If I was making 175k in a city like that, I would probably work for a few years, then semi-retire. Maybe take a nonprofit job, do less hours and consult, or work for a local university with low pay but good work life balance. I wouldn't just ride it out for 10-20 years if I didn't enjoy the job.
- pc86 8y agoYou can't even semi-retire on a few hundred thousand dollars.

If you're mid career and had aggressively saved prior to acquiring 400k, you could totally take up some sort of minimum wage gig to pay for insurance while your nest egg goes or take a nonprofit job. That's my definition of "semi retirement", maybe yours is different.
- philsnow 8y agoEither you don't have any dependents or you and I have very different ideas about retirement. To me it sounds like you're only talking about the "RE" part of "FIRE".
