[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$100k-$250k telework jobs 5 hrs a day?  What do you do!!![/quote]

I work in a very niche position for a large, global company. I have literally spent my entire working career at this one place (at one point, a headhunter chided me for not moving positions). I am the only person in this position in the U.S.

It wasn't always this nice, cushy job. There have been points where the job was insane and various bosses/colleagues even crazier. Early on, I had lots of overseas travel which sounds fun but really isn't, and I had to miss a lot of family events, weddings, etc. because I was abroad.

There have been - and sometimes still are - really insane hours not in the number of hours but working in the middle of the night to collaborate with colleagues overseas. At one point, I told them I was going to leave at the end of my maternity leave and they came back to renegotiate with me because they needed my institutional knowledge.

I know I'm really lucky but I feel like I paid my dues and have earned this.[/quote]

What industry??[/quote]
