I'm a lead software engineer at a specialty insurance company in the Midwest United States. Half my days are spent in meetings and the other half is spent either coding or working on documentation or making diagrams or thinking through decisions. I left last year and spent a year working remote for General Electric HealthCare, but left back in April to go back to this insurance company. I really like my coworkers and the general work environment. I'm on a hybrid schedule so I only go into the office about twice a week, and my commute is only about 20 minutes each way. I enjoy what I do but I don't put in anything beyond the 9 to 5. I work to live, not the other way around, and I have set boundaries so I can spend my time with my family.
