Came to say the same. Work from home, permanent remote. I moved out to acreage in the middle of the forest to raise my family. Pretty dang happy, with good pay, especially for the area.
It can be stressful, but like, the fun stressful. Like a really hard puzzle that you feel great after figuring out. And then I just go outside and walk around my property when I need a break.
I’ve been advancing slowly. Manager asked if I wanted to manage people, naw dog, that’s not me. But slowly they’ve been putting me as lead on projects with others assigned to it also. It’s leading but not managing, still comes with pay raises so whatever, maybe I will manage one day.
Point is I’m happy.

On the other hand, if you find yourself thinking “hmm, I have great technical skills including software architecture, I could make a positive broader impact here!” they’re going to ignore you unless you’re a smooth talking charismatic motherfucker
