Title: I have had an extremely good experience doing a 4 hour per day, 4 day per week job, in which I was mainly doing a greenfield project for a startup company.<p>Hands down, it was best work experience I have ever had. I was asked to do little every week, so I always had an extreme desire to outperform expectations, which led to an extreme drive to work, great work &#x2F; life balance, and a very(!) productive throughput every single workday!<p>Another curious side-effect was to (on several occasions) actually work beyond the required ~16 hours per week, out of sheer pleasure.<p>I still remember that the same day I started working full time for that same company, my energy&#x2F;happiness&#x2F;productivity levels plunged, to only be lowered along the years.<p>I sincerely think it is quite unrealistic to ask a knowledge worker consistently deliver at full throttle for 40 hours every week (never mind the enslaving 60+ hours on many companies)<p>So my questions are the following:<p>- Are these 4&#x2F;4 jobs easy to find? In which areas &#x2F; programming language domains?<p>- Only greenfield projects make sense for this kind of work schedule?
