One thing I should add is, that hes more like a team leader and I Am working in academics (even if its just 30h a month since I'm primarily studying) in a small team. His role is primarily organising things and doing different sorts of manual work, so that I can work effectively. Its a very relaxed relationship.
Some weeks ago he literally asked me, what he should watch out for if he wants to pirate movies or music, so I guess its more like a friendship with some form of hierarchy, but its still very relaxed.
Ahh, okay. I figured it must be a less corporate situation than I'm used to given your reaction. Sounds like a really nice thing you have going there!
That working space is absolute gold. I can work when I want, where I want as long as I am getting my hours done. I Am getting money to code (so doing the stuff I would instead do in my free time) without having any formal qualifications that are worth anything. I Am working on research projects and helping to make research and development possible.
I personally would not trade that working place in for anything
Oh that sounds so wonderful! Reminds me of my days working at a medical research non–profit, which remain the happiest memories of my career. I knew I had it good, but was too young to fully appreciate how different that culture is to working in the commercial sector. The passion and the friendships are so much more genuine, and in my opinion, worth so much more than the money some might choose to look for elsewhere. I hope your organisation remains well–funded forever.
