That's a good perspective. It's not for everyone. I didn't touch on that in my post, but it's important. I maintain a pretty rigid schedule and it's not been a problem at this job.

A reason I'm well suited is perhaps many years of ops and on-call work. I am not necessarily at my desk banging out code all day and night but weekend and middle-of-the-night emergencies are nothing new.

I also have a spouse who very much believes in me being happy. She's been really great in this process too.

Thanks for your comments!
