Popular Post Boogieman Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) 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 😍 Edited September 8, 2020 by Boogieman 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" Edited September 8, 2020 by Boogieman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RockyTop Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited September 8, 2020 by RockyTop 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Albatross Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 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 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post null Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) 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.
