@raiderrobert@mastodon.social There's no amount, because I run my own business. At that point it's not a job in the same sense, you have responsibilities, you can't just leave, not that I'd want to anyway. *If* I stopped, I think I'd retrain as an English teacher (as teaching kids to speak English, I live in France). My teacher friends think I'm insane, but I've been volunteer English teaching 2 hours a week for years now and I really quite enjoy it. Either that or I'd just try and do some consultancy.

@raiderrobert@mastodon.social No choice fits. After 3 months at new job - I quit without notice, but did leave a letter of resignation and explained why. Ethical operation of company. 8 months later the business was closed. No idea how many customers were on the hook for payments made for equipment that was not delivered, or how many other employees didn't make the jump (I told 3 my whys and said goodbye). == And I did not have a new job lined up at the time. But did within 3 weeks. 😎

@raiderrobert@mastodon.social I picked the amount that I think it would take to bridge me until I found another job, because I'm too young to retire. Given my current rate, and the fact that I just started a new job after going without for a while (so I have a sense of how long that can be), I picked > 50K.

@raiderrobert@mastodon.social I would do it for an amount equal to 2 or 3 times my annual net salary.. I move my family to a smaller city then start looking for a new job. My dream is to open a little computer shop and provide assistance to small companies as service provider using #opensource

@raiderrobert@mastodon.social Honestly I barely have a job now anyways, so a half-decent lump of money would be nice! I'd probably focus full-time on my hobby projects, which I've been neglecting. And if I get enough to share, I'd probably share it around with others dissatisfied with computing's status-quo to build weird things together! My main constraint is: I'm not moving out of Nelson! I'm devoted to the community here!
