I am not in a comfortable situation in mine. It is a bit toxic tbh. The rest of it seems normal - so many meetings, everyone fumbling around trying to meet the goals that shift around. I do like the parts where I get to write code though:-).

Nobody enjoys 100% of every day and every activity. But do you enjoy your job... mostly?

Becoming self-employed was the best professional decision I ever made.

Very much so this. Been free of direct bosses for a decade ( clients are the replacement bosses though).

But I can fire my bosses, and have once. And I have total control about my workplace ( home).

There are many downsides, it’s not all good. I think the trade off is worth it
