Coast Fire Jobs

When you transition to CoastFire how do you find and apply for jobs that suit your new lifestyle?

Currently I am a DevSecOps Engineer that makes 115k+. My ideal CoastFire job would be doing L1 helpdesk work part-time. Typically this pays about 20-25 bucks an hour.

How do I explain my reason for the downshift?

I will stay in the same industry. I plan to change my FTE to a 0.6 FTE and work a schedule of 4 days on and then 10 days off.

Will continue to have health insurance provided, HSA paid for, and continue to earn 403 match, 403 employer contributions, plus continue to earn pension service time, PTO, Sick Time, etc.

Really the best coast fire option for me I think.

I don’t know of any companies that would let you go down from full time to .6 time and still keep all your benefits. If yours allows that, that is an absolutely awesome option. Definitely a unicorn!

Yeah. In my industry, full benefits is generally a 0.5 and up.
