shyt seems very unnatural. Problem is, not everyone is meant to be a leader. In order to lead, a lot of folks must follow.
Remote work or a mix of "in office" and remote though, especially if either option pays great
Got to build the skills for that though. I got into software engineering pretty much because of that. This route takes sacrifice though - if you here posting all day or on other sites and not building desired skills, that 9 to 5 door is waiting for you. Life can be tough though and at times you have to vent, so that's understood, but then you got to realize at some point you have to put the work in regardless of if you feel like you want to or not. I'm almost positive some folks' routine is 9 to 5 -> posting on the coli when they get home and repeat. If you hate the cycle, you got to break it. Chances are the best time to build skills would be when you get home, so you know what you have to do - that's personal responsibility and taking your life into your own hands.
Even better is having investments stacked though that will produce income to sustain lifestyle. Saving money, having a better financial stream, research, etc. all play a role into that.
