This helped me a lot too: https://tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dreamline.pdf https://tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dreamline.pdf basically you write down exactly the lifestyle you want, figure out how much it will cost per month and work your way backwards to get that number. It's usually cheaper than you think. Just from reading "I value autonomy, creativity, family, and comfortable lifestyle." without any other context tells me a 9-5pm gig at Google (including leaving at 4pm on the odd Friday to see your kid's dance recital) sounds like a good fit. I'm the weirdo who'll take revenue splits and equity deals, roll the dice on random startups, and move somewhere where I'm completely illiterate. If you leaned towards that though, you'd probably have a post asking how you could get a job at crypto company in Signapore :)
