Thanks for this fresh and bold perspective - bold because it goes against the prevalent view of a 9-5 job that peaked during the pandemic. Obviously not everybody is in a situation that is conducive to living in two (or more) worlds and for many, especially in tech, a 9-5 in reality is 8-6 (or plug in your own hours) in addition to staying connected before and after. Nevertheless, the security and/ or stability of a proverbial 9-5 can often help rather than hurt the pursuit of one’s passion. Also this! :)
