Out of curiosity, why is this your best day job? What things do you look for in a job? Do you enjoy the work, or is the goal to make a decent salary with as little work as possible?

Congratulations for reaching your goal ! . I've been following your series since they started, and they give me hope for starting out on my own.

I'm stuck in a job I've grown to hate, and I've set my own goal to quit in April (with a small economic cushion while I start my own freelancing career).

While I don't think I'll do any Android development, your posts give me some insight on what you can do with effort.

I have been in very similar situation. Hated my day job and boss. But as you may see you can change it. There is a lot of money in online development. Not only Android.
