I can operate at this level for another 10-12 years. Not because I have to, because I want to. With expensive hobbies, and a passion for working and creating, why give up a mid 6-figure income to "retire"? If I provide value to a company, and they value my contribution and are willing to pay me, I don't see me stopping.
I play plenty as I go along with the racing. |

Congrats. I went from 70-80 hours a week, 16-20 phone calls a weekend, on call all the time to 45 hours a week, barely a call after hours and 100% less stress. I never knew I could enjoy so much time at home and doing stuff around the house. Much happier and healthier. Oh and the company I went to does about the same cash flow and it is a privately held company. No need to blow smoke up the stock holders rears.
Enjoy the new gig. |

Can't imagine how I'd still be alive if I hadn't given up regular drinking 35-40 years ago.

80 plus hours a week? That's crazy, I put in 60 at multiple jobs early in life and decided I would never work that many hours regularly no matter the pay. It's too hard on a person and life is too short.

This is some really great news man!
It really helps to know your value and expect that of potential employers. Stoked for you to have the extra time so I can actually see you for more than just a few hours. I'll be back end of this month to work on outdoor kitchen and pool/spa. Scott
