    I've been freelancing/contracting all year and its been great. By great I mean I've been doing minimal work and making good money (the tax write offs make it worth it). I've also been maximizing my free time. Traveling, working remotely and pursuing hobbies.

    My recruiter set me up with an interview for a very lucrative full time position. Mellow company that pays really fucking well. Stable industry. Let me emphasize A LOT OF MONEY. like bonuses out the ass at the end of the year. This is on top of Christmas bonus, pension, and all the other good stuff.

    For some reason I'm not all the interested? am I crazy? I really value my time and freedom right now. I have no kids or spouse or even a pet. And I'd have to stay in my current city that is ok but I've been having fun exploring and working remotely.

    I did really well in the interview. Figures since I was in an ambivalent mood about it all.

    • is it possible to talk to them about the idea of melding both worlds? Some remote work time, since you have proven you can do that.capn_ron
    • ^ it's sure worth a try.Gnash
    • another way to look at it is use this gig to finance your next life phase. take the LOT OF MONEY and invest wisely - have a clear goal for the next step.Gnash
