Thanks for the ideas ! 4. is probably what I'll end up doing, the niche field being some sort of devops / sysadmin job. While reading the impressive amount of responses this thread…

>pick a role where you're constantly blocked by other people Excellent advice. I love how HN still ends up thriving for perfection. If I compile all the comments in this thread I'l…

Didn't think about ETL jobs. Thanks !

30k€/year would be more than enough.

Thank you for your advice. I do not have it in me anymore to get the high paying job and go all-out, unfortunately. I understand the really boring jobs would probably lead to depre…
