I essentially took a big pay cut, and the hours are about the same, but working from home means I see my boys (3 yrs & 9 mos) much more than I would otherwise. As long as the ends are still meeting (barely), I think it's worth it, though there are times that the stability of a regular engineering job can be pretty tempting.

Thanks for the bump and reminder to update my "other LinkedIn page" As of last August, I'm working for a small but rapidly growing city south of Nashville doing site plan review for new developments, and dealing in collectibles is back to "on the side" status.
