Work is unsustainable, but I'm earning lots. How much do I need?

I contract through my own business, but I have to assume they own all the IP. It’s a weird area of finance as it’s international. I don’t want to build a product.

Most of the time I have to source specialist contractors for projects for them. It’s difficult to make things standard if that’s 1. Not what they want, or 2. The deadlines don’t allow you to have enough time to breathe and put in the extra effort there.

You keep the same clients, but the areas you work in are different, so the crossover is limited. I do what I can, but trying to make things the way you think they should be is a recipe for tears. In my experience, anyway.
