Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

This. I wholeheartedly agree. I dunno if it was you but 4 years ago a similar comment on hacker news made me consider working less.

It was the best decision in my entire life. I came to the conclusion that our work will not linger in our memories the way family, love, friends, do.

It entirely changed my way of thinking and I can't see myself going back to a 5-days week.

If anyone is interested I also wrote what were the drawbacks for me on my blog ( https://givemethechills.com/why-did-i-start-working-part-tim... ) I don't want by no means hijack the thread, but if anyone wants a inside look I think the post might help, and in any case I'm open to question.

Back to the 20% raise topic: No, I wouldn't take it unless it'll improve my quality of life dramatically.
