Before this major shift happened I was willing to accept a significant cut for my current job for the sake of working with good people with flexibility. It happened somewhat by accident, but as soon as the opportunity arose I jumped on it and haven’t looked back.
I suppose my take home is around $70k CAD less than if I’d taken another job, and around $30k CAD less than what I had before. And I’m glad.
My family needs me more than my job does. We need money less than we need to be happy. I still earn more than we need, so we’re incredibly fortunate.
I understand completely and with no surprise at all that other people want this. The ability to work and live more on your own terms is a sort of empowerment and a luxury all people deserve but few ever get. It has allowed me to work on mine and my family’s well being in ways I haven’t been able to for a long time. I suspect a lot of people feel the same.
