Ask HN: What's the best tech company to coast?

2 points by DidISayTooMuch 6y ago ↗ HN

I'm tired of the 9-5 bullshit. I wanna work for a company that pays me well, but where I don't have to do a lot of work.

In my free time, I wanna work on personal projects (both tech and non-tech). I eventually plan to retire early, but I just wanna coast until then.

Any company recommendations for software dev position?

I suspect no one would want to work with you... definitely wouldn't be recommending where I work.

Please don't. I'm just looking for companies that already have a coasting culture.

Probably an insurance company or bank, to be honest. Bonus, a lot of them are located in secondary cities or the burbs, where the cost of living is wildly cheaper than the tech hubs.

Look for a bank / financial services, insurance company, or government contractor. Personally I do not think I'd be able to tolerate the boredom.

Maybe you would be happier with part time work.

Start your own consulting company and coast as much as you want.

Wouldn't you coast from 9 to 5 anyway?
