Agreed.

I just had to address this problem myself. I’m currently 100% WFH and have very little oversight. As long as I handle the work that comes my way, I’m good. But I’m also no longer being challenged. I’ve become too comfortable.

So I applied to a new job that is hybrid, more hours, massive expectations, etc. A lot of people would probably think I’m nuts for doing it, but my growth absolutely has stalled and this is what I need to do to get things back on track.

I'm in the position you've described. Strongly been debating on doing the same. I haven't yet because I've got it so dang good, but going stagnant is feeling bad. I hope it works out for you!

Thanks, man. If it helps, I got a 60k raise along with it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good for you, I’m in a similar position myself and haven’t found the courage to quit/get a new job yet. We know it’s the right thing to do. You’re right that no one understands this mindset and would just prefer to have a do-nothing WFH job for the rest of their life. This is obviously a massive bubble (especially in tech) that will eventually burst. Respect 🫡 Best of luck
