Notes on my employment and related experiences. Past, current and future (?).
As of I have been trying to dive deeper in what my ideal employment would look like. There are various high level options all of which will have different requirements, but I want to first describe my feelings about the more regular employment in a company sort of situation. This doesn't mean that I believe employed in a company is my preferred mode of working.
To dive deeper, I have started to just list down what I like, what I dislike, and what I am unsure of, for various aspects of the employment. Many times my likes are coming from dislikes for the opposite idea so maybe this tabling is not so great. This is just a first pass thoughts and will evolve with time:
