It's funny because there are careers that have figured out the kind of lower-work senior roles you're talking about -- doctors and lawyers come to mind right away, with surgeons who work 1-2 cases a week and senior partners who come in to consult for a month here and there.
- nytesky 3y agoThose jobs have a fixed supply of graduates set the the Bar and AMA accrediting medical schools (and law schools but that is less clear to me, but anyways law school is very prestige based so kind of moot if a 3rd tier law school expands enrollment). Other fields have no body policing the incoming employee population.

The key is that you're sort of doing your own thing on your own schedule. Which doesn't describe most people at the average tech company. Certainly for senior people there are probably one dayish a week roles that don't even have to happen every week. But now you're still essentially talking about being a consultant.
