In my case, a few things, but probably being healthy, having a good quality of life in a safe country. Being able to spend time with my friends and family.

    Oh my yes. I have the same thing 30 hour max contract as a software engineer/DevOps 99% remote. I go in for a meeting here and there or if I need to physically touch a computer for a while. I generally work 20-25 hours per week and take Fridays off.

    I got the job by first working there full time for 7 years and then quitting for a while and then coming back as a contractor.

    What did you find that offers a lot of time off? I want options!

      That sounds brilliant! I work 36 hours over 4 days so get a 3 day weekend which is lovely. But I also get 8 weeks annual leave pro rata which I value so much. I could get paid a lot more working somewhere else but I can’t give up my free time, it’s too important.

      I’m a buyer for wholesaler which is a worker co-operative.
