I have to admit that you are right about my fear of losing that safety net I have at my current job. It feels so safe and my life feels like so much easier thus happier.

Cash flow passively? Did you mean like starting a business or investment?

I think I enjoy the freedom and that little amount of work that I only need a few hours a day to complete. It’s pretty easy most of the time. This is essentially what I love most about my current job.

I don’t think my company is going to be happy to know that I’m actually moonlighting at lunch time. I haven’t told any one at my company about my recent freelance gig teaching students programming during my lunch break.

I suspect I’m having all that freedom because it seems like nobody actually realise that my work can be done so easily.

I’ve only been sending emails to offshore vendors about the things we have to do. I’m not sure if I’m truly managing a team of developers. The offshore vendor will write the specs, do everything from specifications to development to documentations.

All I was really doing was reviewing the work and then approve/reject their work.

Honestly, I’m not exactly sure I want to be more of a managerial role or developer. I do however fear that I may lose my technical knowledge in my current job since I only have to send emails to offshore vendors. My current job does make me realise the “freedom” I get from a managerial role that I will probably not get from a developer role though. I did consider transiting to a managerial role when I’m closer to my 40s or 50s if a managerial role is really so much less demanding than a developer role. But again, I’m not sure if my current job is a true reflection of what a managerial role is because it just feels insanely easy and comfortable.
