I FIREd and this is what I miss. Not a techie but a whitecollar job with a bunch of smart people. Miss that.
I think I’m mostly surprised that so many smart/capable/successful people keep grinding long after they need to. And I’m sad that those of us that don’t have a harder time finding eachother because we don’t have a common career to put us in a room together constantly.
Ah well. Wouldn’t trade any of the great adventures I’ve had for a job or a large sum of money. I’m happy with my trade.
