I've been working like this, 16 hours a week for the past year. About 3 hours of that is meetings, and the rest is straight up coding. I don't make a lot of money, but I've never been happier with a job. I honestly don't feel less productive than when I worked full time. I spend the rest of my energy working on a project I intend to turn into a saas business.
I think this kind of thing, where your job doesn't dominate your life should be the future. It's just so much more humane.
- samvher 6y agoOut of curiosity, where do you work? I'm in the process of negotiating a similar setup with my employer, at my previous organization I worked 60% and also felt very happy with that. It seems to be hard to arrange unless an employer already knows you, though. (At least for interesting/challenging jobs with growth.)
- eloff 6y agoYes, it's a small startup where I've worked with the founder before. I think it's get hard to find a gig like this, and it shouldn't be that way.
- tra3 6y agoI misread "16 hours a week" as "16 hours a day". I've never had pity turn so fast into envy.
