Profession: Software Engineer (Web) at a large enterprise software company (~12k employees)

Workday:

- [6:30 am] Wake up and get the kids ready (I try and let my wife sleep-in since she has likely been up several times during the night tending to our infant son)

- [8:00-8:15] Get to work, check Email/Slack

- Write Code

- Mid-morning stand-up

- Write Code

- Home for lunch (I'm a 12 min drive from home)

- [1:00 pm] Write Code

- [5:15 pm] Home to run around with my insane 3 y/o

- [8:00 pm] Both kids are in bed

- [8:05 pm] Go for a jog

- [9:00 pm] Either work on side projects or read a book

This is pretty much every day. The software I work on is not exactly inspiring stuff but my company grants me a stable and predictable schedule of which I am thankful for.
