L3, an extreme introvert, considered nice and soft by teammates, a simple brag.

L3 at Google with 200k TC (reduced). In recent years, I have set up the system to do dev freelancing outside of working hours. Basically, I spend less than 2 hours during the weekdays for sync up and about 8 hours during the weekend divided over 2 days. I've about 10 devs overseas, I get dev projects with hourly rate of 50 - 80$, and delegate all work to my devs overseas for 10 - 20$ based on seniority. I spend 20 - 30 minutes for reviews and sync up daily, all happen outside working hours. In 2022 I made a little over 200k, and the last year 2023 I made over 463k in 1099 that's over double my TC for 4x less work. I can easily write off some of expenses legally with 1099. Basically, everyone is happy, overseas developer, myself and business partners. Quality of work is great. Money flows in even when I sleep. I live in Bay Area, I'm thinking of quitting, scaling this business, and moving to a less expensive place to reduce my expenses.
