    Wow, I left shortly after but I was still fresh.

    Went to a startup with a xoogler boss who was brilliant but without all the stupid bits of Google, he’s awesome and we’re rocking.

    The pay cut was worth the massive decrease in BS, I enjoy my job and being productive.

      Job satisfaction is super important if you want to go the distance. Sometimes you get that through good wlb. Sometimes it’s interesting problems. Other times it’s a lot of money.

      I’m willing to endure a lot of suck if it means I can retire younger. I want to teach but am the sole breadwinner. Can’t take that step down.

        I retired once, very young, it felt stupid.

        Job satisfaction makes working feel better than retirement, and you have an excuse for not doing things.
