This year I finally found a flexible and comfortable job. I work only 25 hours per week (more or less). The income does not make me super rich (like FAANG engineers) but I live comfortably with the money.
I consider this situation as my recent success because I have a lot of time to work on other things (research, moonshot projects, online businesses).
I just published a book about blockchain this year. Last week I released an opensource blockchain project. Later I want to build an online educational business (something like pyimagesearch.com, egghead.io) but this time it is not about blockchain anymore. :)
In the future (maybe 2 years later) I want to do some research on drone.
Edited: Add more details.
- jamesb93 7y agoIs the work fulfilling?
- langitbiru 7y agoYes. It's about programming education. Low stress job.
- pickle-wizard 7y agoA low stress job is so nice. For the first time in my career I have a low stress job. I feel like a totally different person. I big difference I've noticed is that I watch a lot less TV now. I used come home burned out and would just crash in front of the TV.
- jamesb93 7y agoHow did you go about finding a low stress position? I'm super interested in working just enough to live so I can actually enjoy my life.
- langitbiru 7y agoBy random luck. But of course, the skills that I have built for many years played a role too.
- foxes 7y agoSounds wholesome, I think if you have good self motivation you can always do interesting things in your own time. Sometimes I feel like you have to make it a bit of a routine, but it pays off.
