On: Changing jobs during the Great Resignation

[lovich]

There’s also retire early as an option. I’m not good enough or willing to put in the effort to get good enough to get into meta, but if I was presented the option of working somewhere kinda shitty but I could retire in 5 years vs working somewhere that was decent but I won’t retire for 30 years, it’s an easy pick.

I can’t really find somewhere where I can work on somewhere I love because the Vern diagrams of jobs I would love to do, and jobs where I am an employee, are completely separate circles

[jseban → lovich]

Yes, exactly. Because the venn diagram is the two circles of: things I love to do, and things that I do on someone else's terms.

If someone else is telling you what to do, you won't love it, no matter what. Freedom is a prerequisite for love.
