Pay is probably pretty good (especially if current rise materialises) for my level of experience, and I have lots of autonomy in how I do things, as I'm the main technical decision maker on non-frontend tasks.

I'm also doing uni part time, and taking half a day off every week is a tough proposition for employees. Despite the chaos, I do like the work I do, and as it's a Greenfield project, I want to see it reach some level of exposure to core clients before I can consider it a job well done.

What about you?

Because my pay as a grad student is just too good! /s

Frankly, no better options at this time.
