But I quit to work 100% on my own business, 4 days a week, so there's also that. :)
On the other hand, if anyone is offering a 20%+ raise for a 6-day workweek, I would seriously consider it.
or, would you be able to get the same or more done in 20% less time?
For the past 3 years I’ve been working sub 30-hour weeks while increasing my post-taxes pay by 30-40%. The contracts are long (3-24mo), you can deduct equipment, courses and conferences and the boring stuff (bookkeeping, taxes, sales) can be outsourced for a fraction of your billing. A nice bonus is you don’t have to participate in all the meta-work (team building, internal trainings and all-hands).
Not in the same job anymore, but maybe that is something people could try, reduce from 100% to 90% with the same pay and then to 80% over like 2-3 years.
i wonder if a 4-day work week would actually be attractive to employers, especially if they could take a cut (back) of salary.
maybe even something like....it's a 20% work time cut, so maybe for that, i'll need to give you %30 of my salary, which is a lot.
but if some of the studies are to be believed, then productivity can go up with a shorter work week, so salary should actually be _increasing_.
but...you got to get the deal done. so...
