If you are enjoying it, which it sounds like you are, then I would stay and see if you can evolve your role into something even more.

An idea just based on what you wrote is pitch a community outreach program to your company where they sponsor a daily lunch class to help teach programming to those looking for a career change. I know many US states actually give large tax breaks to companies who do things like this.

I think I enjoy the freedom and that little amount of work that I only need a few hours a day to complete. It’s pretty easy most of the time. This is essentially what I love most about my current job.

I don’t think my company is going to be happy to know that I’m actually moonlighting at lunch time. I haven’t told any one at my company about my recent freelance gig teaching students programming during my lunch break.

I suspect I’m having all that freedom because it seems like nobody actually realise that my work can be done so easily.
