8 as of today, but maybe a 4 two months ago.
I found myself really loathing the daily grind of getting up early, driving to the office, putting in my 8 hours, driving home, making dinner for me and the kid, rinse and repeat the next day.
But then the stars aligned and I found a job thats 90% remote, and a 20% pay increase, feels like I won the lottery.
I'll gain back so much time and energy, and haven't even started the new gig yet and I feel rejuvenated and just better overall.
I'm a pretty optimistic person by nature so it was tough getting down and being so negative all the time. It felt really foreign and frankly a bit scary. Took some time and some conversations to figure out why I wasn't myself.
Long story short, my job, the grind of it was slowly eating at me. Decided to look into making a change and voila 2 months later I'm on a completely different path.
