Age 49 here. I'm seriously considering that my next job should be 3 or 4 days per week, even if that means a somewhat proportionately reduced paycheck. Would fight for 4+ weeks vacation too.
I need quality of life more than I need cash right now.
- lm28469 5y agoI'm in my mid 20s and I'll never go back to 5 days workweek, definitely go for it, it's a life changing move, no amount of money makes up for time lost

- autarch 5y agoI'm 47 and I just left my last job. I'm going to take some time off, but I'm committed to only working 4 days per week or less when I look for my next position.
- luxurytent 5y agoDo it! I'm 36 and my current gig offers 5 weeks vacation, and I just came back from 3 months (topped up) parental leave. Life is too beautiful to work 5 days a week
- whichdan 5y agoOh I would easily take a 20% paycut to have Fridays off forever.
- philmcp 5y agoMe too - but there are now companies offering a 4 day week with 0% drop in salary https://4dayweek.io/ https://4dayweek.io/
- EduardoBautista 5y ago0% drop compared to what company? Stripe? Uber? Google?
- philmcp 5y agoCompared to the salary the company offered before they switched to a 4 day work week
- erinnh 5y agoDepending on how tied to the USA you are, you could also consider a move to the EU, where 4 weeks vacation are basically the minimum everywhere.
