> I'm thinking of starting out on my own someday, but I wonder, is it even realistic to have a 9-5 kind of structure in IT/software dev field ? Yes. I've done it before, and am doing it now. Including at startups. It's about intentionally setting your own boundaries and being firm on them. Every job in every industry will ask you at some point to give more than is required, and it's up to you to set the boundaries on when and how you say yes and no to these types of requests. My sister works in a non-technical industry and the text of your post could be something she's said to me in the past if you just replace "IT/software" with her industry. And again, her issues are all caused by simply saying yes to everything asked of her without any boundaries. |
