It is a way to a stack of money. Which may not give you fulfillment but it does you options.
- asdev 6y agoof course it's a way and it pays well. but once you've become debt free and have some savings in the bank, it loses it's appeal exponentially. this leads to burn out, lack of motivation, people questioning their career choices/decisions
- gonzo41 6y agoI think I've had the benefit of having had very labour intensive jobs in my past. Working in an office, or better at home is a real treat. It does get to me sometime. But I can think back to literally digging ditches landscaping and I think to mysef I can totally handle this a little while longer.
- derwiki 6y agoI agree that it loses its value exponentially, but not the appeal.
- foogazi 6y agoOP doesn’t seem to be financially independent just yet: > I have family, I can't risk to lose my job Maybe building FAANG CRUD apps can offer something here
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoI know a few people who worked at FAANG for a few years and then bought nice houses in the city I live in (they left their FAANG jobs). Money might not bring you fulfillment, but having enough to buy a $500k house in a place you want to live can get on the way.
