Left two jobs in the last 3 years because they offered remote and then tried to claw it back. If I ever set foot in an office again it'll be too soon.

I also tend to check in with myself on Sunday nights as I'm lying in bed. If I feel like I'm walking into a good situation the next morning, with good problems to solve and a decent chance of actually solving them, then I stick around. If I'm filled with dread awaiting the next off-hours disaster, I brush up my resume and flip the flag on LinkedIn.

I wish I were in the place you're in right now. Good on you dude. Did the job switches also come with tasty salary bumps?

Absolutely delicious, thank you for asking. I've been very fortunate and had a lot of help.
