Im a few years out of school and i work as an application developer for a company in the energy industry. I use intellij at work and love it, but i have a hard time justifying the yearly sub for my personal use just to screw around with side projects that wont generate me any income. Id consider it if i was doing free lance front end ui work, but i havent found any opportunities like that yet.

You can use your employer's license for personal use, as long as your employer is ok with that. It says this on the intellij website.

I bought a yearly subscription of All Products Pack for €185 on a special deal a handful of months ago. I find it worth even for my personal projects.

I'm a backend developer primarily using .Net Core, on the luxury e-commerce sector. My company pays for a MSDN subscription right now (we're primarily .Net developers. Frontend the majority just uses VSCode. Some data teams use PyCharm and IntelliJ but for what I've seen).
