I tried the corporate rat race, was not for me. Neither was the startup lottery ticket grind.

I work remote 3 days a week (for 75% salary) and it’s the perfect balance for me. 4 days off is enough to recharge and work on personal projects yet keep some structure.

I had a side project online which the CEO of a small company used (he mentioned it on twitter). We started a conversation, he was hiring and remote-friendly, so I joined. After a few years I asked to go part-time.

Not affiliated, but https://30hourjobs.com/ has a list of similar gigs.
