Im about to make the same leap as you and I know it'll be the same. What's your plan?
I think it would be worse to inflate your lifestyle with all the nice things and still have to work at that new big tech place for decades more
- loudtieblahblah 5y agoi'm basically paying off my car, my (and my wife's) student loans, etc. I would say about 5-10% of the money will go to increased creature comforts or better vacations. But beyond that it's been invested in college savings for my kid, our retirement and such. The reality is, I'm trapped in my role. The only thing to do is continue and enjoy life to the best of my ability outside of work and to use the money i get for the best life i can have. I have a financial opportunity here most people never get. I'm burnt out and disengaged and have only been here a month, but I will continue to work against my attitude and try to make the best of it. I have to.
- randomopining 5y agoYeah seriously it's an amazing thing. I think you could get to a point where you're doing like 3-4 hours work a day max, and making like 300k+. Ridic. But it's so pointless. Having a family definitely sticks you in more. Maybe you can grind and save up enough that you can take only few month stints or contracted jobs once in awhile. Live in a lower cost of living place and enjoy a simpler life.
