That's a good point, and a relevant one.

Actually that happened to me too, it turns out there's such a thing as being TOO confident

I'm getting that vibe from you a little as well, where you're refusing to jump through the hoops that companies put in front of new hires (binary tree crap)

I'd recommend you either knuckle under and play ball, or even better: Get into consulting / make a SaaS business like the Expat Software guy

Nah. It really is freeing to not have to do that.

I sincerely want to help people that help people. The rat race is just too exhausting for me. I didn't realize how exhausting, until I had a couple of years of working on my own to see the difference.

I'll probably never get paid a dime for my work, ever again, and the thought brings me great joy.

Live off what I saved up. I'm not rich, but I'll be OK.
