Yeah I'm with you. I'm not corporate quite anymore, albeit still very much adjacent to it. I did that for 20 years though, and you know what, the minor investment of time, mental, and physical state really paid quite well. It's the ones that seek fulfillment from corporate work that suffer. I sought to exchange a limited amount of good work for a paycheck, and spent my non-work time seeking fulfillment with family, friends, hobbies, etc. while not having to stress over income.
