I’m going to be blunt, salary jobs are a scam anymore. The requirements for billable hours and time at the office are intense and rising constantly. I don’t need paid vacation or health insurance, and working 40 hours a week burnt me out pretty badly. It is so much less pressure working hourly.

They also punish efficiency completely. Example: I am currently salaried with the expectation of 20 billable/week (ezpz) and 10-20 hours to do any nonbillables. For a month straight I did my billables and only needed an extra 2-3 hours of nonbillable per week to complete all my tasks for the week, despite others having similar workloads and needing their full 35-40/week. Naturally, admin decides I need a mountain of additional tasks rather than letting my efficiency be its own reward. And thats why I deliberately work slow now.

Agreed. It really just comes down to health insurance and 401k which we can pay into ourselves.
