this can’t feel good to you as a person or engineer. if it does, you might want to look for a job that interests you a bit more, or of it’s not affecting your pay and future ride it out

  bruh I spent the past two years living throughout the Americas, visiting national parks, living in new cities and countries, all while slacking off and making 200k+ a year. It felt fucking amazing.

    I spent the last 2 years still enjoying myself (hobbies, meeting up with friends when I could, traveling occasionally although maybe not as much as you, etc) and now I'm making 400k+ a year with 3 years of experience. You don't have to slack off to enjoy non-work time and it feels like doing that's just going to hurt you in the long run. I also might be speaking out of my ass so maybe someone with more experience can come correct me.

      200k+ is an awful lot of money when you're not shackled to the Bay Area (or even America). Why should I bother making more? My implied hourly rate is insane.

      Can you share more how you hit 400k with 3 years of experience? PhD?

        Working at a FANG or FANG adjacent company on a good team and getting a few lucky promotions. My stock hasn't appreciated much but another way people get their is by being lucky with stock appreciation even if they don't experience much career growth.

  People have different interests. Some slack off only when the job is boring / uninteresting, some might genuinely prefer to spend their time doing other things and working only to have enough money for that. Work to live, not live to work.

There are other potential benefits from working remotely besides slacking off and playing video games. If you spend most of your days slacking off you will pay for it down the line and no money will help you then - find a job that you would want to do even if no one is looking over your shoulder.
