Im a Web developer who graduated a couple of years ago, found out today that im on the same salary as other grads who push spreadsheets. Whilst comparatively im doing lots of heavy lifting with php/javascript and it feels unjust.
Ive been in this role for a year now, and have asked for a promotion to reflect my responsibilities but no joy. Plus the routine has gotten stale, so its time to leave.
I want to go freelance, I have friends to see in different countries and hobbies that encourage me to travel so being remote is ideal.
Can I justify this in my mid twenties with a few years experience? Here is my current status:
>>No wife or kids
>>No cars or other financial commitments
>>280k in investments (thanks pop-pop)
>>7k roughly in my current account
I want to cash in enough shares to give myself 6 months of runway, and then re-evaluate. If I have earned enough to continue, keep going. Not looking for maximum profitability, but rather a lifestyle business so I can avoid sitting at a desk for 40 hours for minimal return.
Am I batshit insane? Or is avoiding a shitty office job worth the risk?
