> imagine all the time you'd spend working on your craft in your own free time to better yourself and learn new skills now imagine using that time to do all those things and learn all those things but being able to get paid for it while working on jobs/tasks for a client.

CAn you explain this more? Maybe your work doesn't align a lot with your interests but when i'm working I feel like i'm learning and when i'm not working, setting aside learning as a hobby, that studying eventually gets rolled back into my work (which I get paid for)?

Yeah. I am in fact leaving my role for a role that I think might be more interesting. I have been doing the same old Python + SQL for 3.5 years and claiming the title of Data Engineer and feeling stuck. So it’s time for a change.

Ideally it would be amazing during the 8 hours I’m working to be growing but that’s not been my experience.
