OP here.
You're right. I left my job last year, after 1.5 years of experience out of burnout. I'm highly frugal but still running out of money, so gotta work again.
The problem is, I knew from the very beginning that I'm only doing software for the money. And now I have to do the same thing which I've always dreaded.
I hope I get some fulfilment working from office, socializing after three whole years.
- randomopining 4y agoHow much do you spend per month? If youre frugal dont you have at least 1-2 yuears saved?
- undopamine 4y agoI quit my job in May 2022 with ~3y worth of savings given my burn rate. I contributed ~50% of that to my parents' retirement home, leaving me with ~1.5y worth of expenses. It's been 8-9 months since I left my job. So effectively I'm left with ~6mo. I'm living with my parents. I can easily survive for another couple years, but I want to contribute to the family's expenses. Plus, home is too comfortable to get things done.
- mind-blight 4y agoYeah, I feel that. I just started full time work a couple weeks ago after avoiding it since December 2021. And I'm pretty happy with it so far. What worked for me was holding out until I found a team with people I connected with. And I know that will change as the company grows. I wanted people who were philosophically aligned about how to work and how work should relate to life.
