> You now have power over that caviling, micromanaging boss of yours. Or the job that doesn't pay you enough. Or the gig that makes you come in the office when you can work perfectly fine from home.

What about when I have all those things and still hate my job?

[hungryforcodes]

Life? Who likes their job? I mean if I don't have to work, I'd prefer to be at the beach with a long island ice tea and a bikini model.

Negotiate less job for the same pay.

[sokoloff]

Or even less job for less pay (as the declining utility of money [and maybe reduction of tax rates] will leave you better off than the linear reduction in income might suggest).

[toomuchtodo]

Only as a last resort. Anchor high/shoot the moon, and only take less money for less work if you have to.

In this job market, employers are likely to agree to demands versus churn a role (at least the forward thinking ones).

Yeah, I basically had those things but was very bored by my job, especially after starting working from home. Luckily I managed to find a job where I still have those things but within a domain which is more interesting to me. So the answer could be: Switch industry/company.

Switch professions?
