Stability. Not having to worry if my job is still secure by next year is such a sweet feeling.

I might not earn as much as I could, but knowing that I have secured a good income all the way to my pension (barring any calamities) is definitely worth it.

Did you get tenure?

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

No, I got a permanent contract for a well paying job in the public sector. The job security is great and there's a solid pension plan.
It's what my partner likes to call an "iron rice bowl" :)
