If single with no dependents this is still very achievable on 4 days a week (and more than doubly so if dual income no kids), and it gets progressively more difficult the more dependents one has, so it really depends far too heavily on the individual context to make sweeping judgements about feasibility.

I agree.

I have 10 years of experience. How the heck am I realistically getting a CTO or Staff role? Maybe I could title inflate staff if it was in my domain, but I certainly don't have the resume to realistically get a call back for a CTO position. Especially in this job market.

> single with no dependents

You can still have kids and not have any dependents. As in, they grow up and move out.

you ever feel like getting this far out on a wacky thread and realized everyone was coming from their own perspective, which means everyone is naturally just talking past each other and so, basically, into the wind?

		Ducks are like toasters. Both love bread and seem like fun in the bath but in reality can be messy. (Yeah I agree, it’s so hard to get people to actually engage instead of just talking past, and it’s one of those things you can’t under one you start noticing it, and it’s everywhere!)

You are absolutely correct, and I did not think of that!
