The post literally above this one is about a manufacturing job with shit hours and pay and I work a 8-4 (sometimes longer) but im paid abnormally high (we start new devs at 70k and average dev is six figures).
But the other stuff like free time can absolutely suffer as even at the senior level, I’m taking so many courses and outside education to stay relevant.
I work almost 100% on a computer for a municipality using software that’s already 100% web-based.
But I have to drive 90+ minutes each way every day because a citizen might want to have an in-person meeting once every few weeks instead of an email or Teams meeting.

Software also gets a plethora of remote work. I have zero sympathy as a mechanical and manufacturing engineer.

You’re an outlier for sure
Oh, I’m not a programmer. I’m just bitching about how many of us have to go to an office for no reason.
Ah my bad
