I need to quit my fiat job. I know that I‘ll be fine and it’s the right thing to do, but it’s still fucking scary, especially in this economy. 🫣

How do you know you'll be fine?

I can sustain myself a few months and if all else fails there is a LinkedIn inbox full of recruiters with Enterprise Java job offers ☠️

That's badass you can get a dev job reliably

I'm genuinely interested: What's your plan for everyday expenses? Living off accumulated wealth or selling/working in the bitcoin economy? I'm looking but as yet I haven't figured a way to get by without my silly nonsense job.

I don't have the wealth to live of but I do have some cushion. I imagine I will still be working in software development projects - that's what I know and love since I was a child.

Ideally I can work in the Bitcoin/NOSTR space with projects that have more purpose than the client projects I'm sold into today.

In any case I want to be able to choose what I do with my time even if it's freelance projects in the "fiat world".

I've been for pretty much looking for the same thing along with some e-com side hustle for passive income. Freelancing in my country is mostly centered around "privatized companies" (i.e. 100% state-run and financed) so that's a nightmare but recently, this has come to my attention:

It's another protocol on top of nostr rather than an actual product/platform so I'm waiting for its adoption and acceptance.

Hell, if it takes too long, I might try to build something with it myself, of course risking getting absolutely skull-fucked by the tyrants ruling this shithole country 😄

Do it!

Everything will fall into place once you start going in the right direction. How do you know it's the right direction? If it feels right it is right.

I actually did quit … but I‘m still stuck in the contract for some months. Won‘t be able to make it to the next nostr:nprofile1qqsg8kve59yxyhpa9wupntesvnq0dgfd0k5g769jc6fzrua8gct36xgpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwduh8xarj9e3hytc34lal0 #soveng 😢

You can do it… but yeah the nerves are felt by everyone at first… you won’t look back though

We should chat

My man! Change is not easy, but is liberating.
