Best company in Seattle to rest and vest?

Let's say somebody has accumulated a large enough portfolio that they no longer need to work hard or increase their TC, just coast for another 5-10 years into early retirement. WLB is much, much more important than TC, prestige, growth, or anything else. Where in Seattle do you go and how much can you make? Assume l64 at Microsoft. Doesn't have to be a tech company.

Microsoft already

No way, I have to put in at least 30 hours here

Then you're in the wrong team. Just find another one. I used to do 2 hours a week. Did that for a full year. Just left Microsoft recently though.

Aren’t you already in the country club?

Oracle is pretty easy. Not sure about the Seattle office. Remote is a cake walk though.

Early retirement and only an L64? Did you do some amazing stock/crypto/real estate moves?

Microsoft idknbd OP Jul 1, 2019

I am l67, I just said assume l64-level work because it will be easier. But also yes, my investments have done well.

Out of curiosity, if you were not to 'retire', how would your prospects look for reaching Partner?

Salesforce, the Bellevue office is a peaceful, quiet low stress ghost town

Microsoft idknbd OP Jul 1, 2019

I have heard that. I'll apply

Boeing for sure too

Find a team that doesn’t have good business eg) MSIT, or teams that serve unpopular service with very few users. Windows and Office are popular. MSR as well. Or Seattle childrens, Swedish, Nordstrom, Starbucks, Disney(hire very few though), Boeing(they mostly contract to Indian consulting firm though).

Are you saying that people in MSR are not hard working? They are way more than product groups. I have worked in both and the MSR stress levels are much higher.

Working 30 or less than 30 is normal in M and FAANG?
