A corporate job will teach you how to write emails that say nothing, attend meetings that decide nothing, and still feel exhausted at the end of the day.
Remote work changed my life more than my salary ever did. The money obviously matters, but the real luxury is no commute, quiet mornings, midday walks, dinner plans after work, and actually having enough energy left to enjoy a life outside of my job.
