I'm currently working a job in IT at a lower than median salary, but I also can fuck around (within boundaries of reason), adapt my work schedule to myself and work from home 100% of the time. I wouldn't have it any other way. My team and managers are some of the chillest people I've met

IT and WFH here also. On an average week I do maybe a handfull of hours of actual work and I earn about the same as a doctor. I'd still prefer to do no work at all and I get major anxiety every time I have to go back to work after summer vacation.

This is exactly what I'm looking for right now. The hurdle is that it's getting harder to find non-contract jobs in IT anymore. So every hour I take off from work is an hour coming out of my pocket. Either way I've come to accept that my sanity and free time are things worth paying for.
