I’m underpaid compared to a FAANG job my work life balance is rad. My boss is rad. My deadlines are reasonable and flexible. My work is cool. My coworkers are nice. My team is 50% women and there are no shitty bros.

We actually fix technical debt. We get to decide what tools we use. IT &amp; DevOps are well funded and supported. Overtime like 4 evenings a year, max and I take a few days off after release. Code standards are high. Red tape is low. 

No layoffs for covid even though growth slowed temporarily. Committed to no layoffs for the next 18 months. Still backfilling and hiring net new people.

Vacation is untracked and take like 6 weeks a year.

I almost never work after noon on a Friday. I’ve never worked on a weekend ever.

I mean money is cool and all but I can afford to live in a HCOL area, travel quite comfortably, and if I don’t waste my money on fancy cars and doordash I’ll retire before I age out of the industry.

So yeah; I would change jobs if my job sucked but what good is that extra money if my life isn’t actually better?
