I work for multi-level mega corporation avaible in almost every country on this planet. I manage all my projects every single day. I have LEVEL 3 (the highest) access to every single door in my building. I have my own personal office with the high-end tools and programmable electric devices. My ID Card works everywhere. People have to say good day to me everytime they see me - like a boss. I'm also solo architect of my work, including agile scalability.

 

I clean toilets at mcdonald.

How's your back after a career like that? My hips and lower back are already toast after 23 years doing flooring. Only half way to retirement :'(

Meat packer, yeah living the high life I know and what's laughable I barely eat the stuff.

Running my own consultant firm since 2002 at 120%+ first 15-ish years, but trying to work less last couple of years aiming towards 50% (trying.. it's hard not to work...especially when everyone else are) for more spare time and less tax (work) which is just silly where i live (Sweden). Was employed before that in the same line of work ..and as a consultant..for some 6 years.

Specialised in (degree + working with) Automation (robotics, HMI, frequency inverters, servo, plc programming in the 4 "official languages" or 6 if you ask some suppliers a.s.o). Programming has kinda been with me and an interest since i was a kid, first computer (ZX spectrum) at 7 y.o....today thats normal or even late, but back then home pcs were pretty uncommon. Monitors back then was a TV with a RF modulator . Interlaced all the way LOL.

And quality engineer (ISO9000 and the likes) brought me over to becoming a test engineer the last few 4-5-6-7 or something years (lowt track), with programming still in my line of work on a side track / add-on.

Mechanics also line up with my interest (bikes and cars amd whatnot) so I normally take full ownership on most projects (though not leading and meeting hysteria, ill leave that to the power point lovers that love to push me 🙈 and i don't mind as long as i am allowed to deliver quality rather than rush work)

Feel like its time for a change though, not sure in what branch but considering a more adventurous branch like starting up a company in my spare time around my spare time interests...also time to move to a different country, really fed up with Sweden and how its governed.

Would love to move to Australia or NZ. They know how to run a country + people seem perfectly open and friendly without any "add-on-mask". Seems simply like the perfect continent and the wild life, diving a.s.o. seem 😍

Sounds a bit like Midlife-Crisis, when very successful people suddenly move into the deepest mountains to become shepherds. But what do I know ... 🤣

Not really. More like moving toward spare time interests for a bigger amount of hours, rather than working my way to the grave with money unspent  but still work enough to not go stagnant and keep in touch with "Reality"

I have been working for the same fortune 100 company for 23 years and I still don’t know what my job is. ..... They tell me that they have a problem and I make it go away.   The phrase “ Problem Solver” comes up quite a bit.
Technical and engineering problems, not people problems. I am not a hit man.  ................ I do know a guy.

Sounds a bit like there is no inherent value and satisfaction in work but money. I think “working my way to the grave” is not such a bad thing at all, as long as you love and enjoy what you are doing.

I'm waiting for a "I ride EUCs for work". Anyone? 

[Dgar]

I'm responsible for all of IT at a Hospital. All PC's, Servers, Infrastructure, etc. My very talented team does most of the actual technical work though. I did it for years through several consulting companies before landing here and now manage them all.

[Albatross]

I sold my business of 12 years about two years ago.  Used to own a Private Ambulance Company.  But for the past two years I have been doing Real Estate and Title Insurance.  Went from having 50+ employees and not sleeping at night to working for myself with no employees and overhead, and will never go back to the past. Quality of life has improved and I even have time to do stuff like ride EUCs

I'm a product designer, working for a mid famous independent designer.
We do a lot of different stuff and I'm doing mostly the arty projects, design sketch research and presentation renders.
Working from home since 8 years, they day consists of mainly 3D on the computer, with some occasional text communication.

I've made the not career move of stepping down to working 3 days a week, it was worth it for the quality of life.
