PhD in electrical engineering, 4 years work experience, current position R&D project leader. I was good at programming during MSc. but I never did anything too complicated in real life,
Any suggestions?
I am just tired of interacting with people in person, and I am a bit depressed in general
What I really want to understand is if I could reinvent myself as a programmer and just work from home
Noah Sanchez
Sure, after you have years of demonstrated experience in delivering on software projects but by that time you'll be high enough up that face to face communication is required.

u need to build passive income streams and chill just hire people to do everything
Dominic Lewis
Fuck. I might try to apply for the european patent office then, I can't really work from home all the time but it's well paid and it doesn't need too much human interaction
Joseph Butler
you've gotta be making bank with those credentials. how much do you want to make from home?
Wyatt Thomas
elaborate

I have a frugal lifestyle, I could easily manage with 80k CHF but I'm also ready to leave Switzerland and live in a cheaper country

Patent examiners make good money (5keuro per month in Munich after tax is not bad) and it's a job for autists. You need to know English French and German though and be an expert in some technical area though.
Christopher Miller
well how much are you making by working and what do you have saved up

Stop posting your fetish pics you freak

I have a msc in EE, not much work experience and I'm looking for the same. I tried trading, but that just got me rekt... I guess I slowly get a grip on it now after half a year. I would not recommend it. You'll be miserable and you'll lose all your money.

Don't visit Jow Forums then I make 140k chf per year and I have 50k chf saved and 10k chf in eth and link. I'm 32 and I'm married
I can tell you in US you can make a solid 8% on dividends just picking the right stocks so live frugally (actually frugally, 80k per year isn't frugal) and invest 80k per year. At 8% returns that's only about 8 years and then you'll have 1m saved up paying 8% dividends which turns out to be your 80k per year

>Why so little saved in 4 years time?? Wasted while traveling and also for the first 1.5 years as postdoc I was at around 80k... That's why I know I can survive with that money (I wasn't married though)

I've been making between 60 and 70k for my first three years out of school with a Bachelors in CS and I saved over 110k. I've also learned I can live on less than 20k including mortgage/rent, utilities, and not even frugal entertainment
I recommend you test your limits because if you can live off of even 40k a year you could retire beyond early and still reinvest dividends in retirement to make more as time goes on into your retirement
Gavin Rogers
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately Switzerland is extremely expensive to live in
Aiden Edwards
Ah I see. Well best of luck anyway. You should be able to retired early regardless
