Maybe I shouldn't share this, but get some expertise and work as an independent consultant.

My salary did a x4, and I generally work half a day. Client can't judge your work and have no idea of what you are doing. But it's quite lonely not having an office with friends.

It sounds like an engineer could do this on the side.

What sort of independent consultant? Software? Architecture?

And where do you find gigs? Cold emailing? Network?

Is this steady work or do you have to keep looking for the next gig?
