What are the pros and cons of each? I’ve seen slow paced (non hustle) countries being romanticized , but personally I struggle in such places.

What are your thoughts? Where are you now and is it slow/fast paced? What do you like there?

    No matter the pay, I do not want to work 60+ hours a week for megalomaniacs like the CEOs of big tech companies, while being constantly at risk of being fired.

    I like my 40 hour work week, 6 weeks of vacation, and my shops close on Sundays. Doesn’t mean on some weeks you do not work longer hours, but on other weeks you then work less.

    Fuck hustle “culture”.

      That’s not really accurate. A lot of CEOs of tech are chill, don’t expect more than 8 hours and some people don’t work much Fridays. You also have a shot of making a few million in a few years and won’t have to work again for the rest of your life.

      SOME roles in tech and SOME companies expect a great deal, but that’s not really the standard.

      You’re not “constantly” at risk of being fired. This is really only since covid and now while the market is not doing great. And the layoff perks are great. Personally, I know of a lot of people who want to be laid off and be paid to do nothing for 6 months or more.
