True -- I only count as rewarding: access to money, investment opportunities, arts, music, food, technology, a cosmopolitan scene, temperate climate and practically every biome within a few hours' drive.

And I only count as work: consumer applications, enterprise software, data storage and processing, law enforcement, intelligence, defense, robotics, aerospace, electric cars, manufacturing, real estate and some other fluff.

What do you guys work on over there? How are you rewarded?
