I would love to consider this, just have the golden handcuffs situation and have no idea how I'd even come close to current salary (average for FAANG, minus equity). Do you feel like you make as much as you did FT?

I made more in less time. Freelancing earns you a risk premium, since no one is taking a cut.

Now I live from a website I run. I'd do it regardless of income because of the lifestyle it permits.

Yeah, I think I'm mostly convinced that the lifestyle is what I want, but I'm not totally sure. The lifestyle that a FAANG salary affords is not so bad either.
