> look for dysfunctional companies
This theme is common in the thread and is wildly wrong.
First I recommend reading Bullshit Jobs to get some perspective on how others have fulfilled your goals.
Big, rich, process-driven companies and institutions are the easiest to do the least work in for the longest time.
Process is the toxin low-effort thrives on.
An admin role at Google pays more and works much less than an engineering role at a dysfunctional company.
If you look at (rich) university departments the admins are impossible to fire and work very little despite being paid only about 30-40% less than a professor with multiple postdocs working five to ten times as hard.
Anything in government: remember, process is where you thrive, and big rich city and state governments have incredible amounts of process.
