[cryptica]

Freedom from corporate wage slavery and mind-numbing bureaucracy is of critical importance to me.

If you're corporate cattle and you like it, then good for you but don't tell a slave that they're sick for not wanting to be a slave.

i recommend you use your technical skills to get a corporate remote job for 5 years. You can make some good coin in that time and honestly you won't have to work much. Definitely not cattle. You can probably spend the majority of your mindpower on your own interests and projects but still collect big corporate checks, bonuses, and stock.

I agree it grates on the soul. But it's a net win and only a temporary fleecing.
