It really sucks. I used to work maybe 11-6 5 days a week, so 35 hours a week. I’ve got a new job now. I work 4 days a week about 5 hours a day. I show up around 1pm and finish up around 6. There’s zero time pressure on the project and we’re probably going to open source what we’re doing. Having three day weekends every week is a game changer. I’m hiking, seeing friends, working on projects, doing some major cleaning...
Seriously, the “full time” schedule sucks. I was extremely lucky to be able to get out but if you’re wondering... yes it makes a huge difference. It’s worth every minute saved.
- Aeolun 7y agoI think this is obvious. If you can get the same salary in 20 hours that you previously made in 35, no sane person will opt for the 35 (I hope).
- TaylorAlexander 7y agoWell I’m not getting the same salary. I intentionally negotiate for hourly so I can come and go as I please without feeling like I owe anyone anything. But I did negotiate an hourly increase so I’m still paying all my bills and saving.
- kgwgk 7y agoMost people opts for keeping doing 35 hours (or many more) for twice the salary they previously made in 35.
