My current job has high autonomy and stable pay but low peer support, leadership misalignment, immature engineering practices, and a draining commute. So i am choosing a next step. Four options: stay at current employer, take a local on-site/hybrid role, take a remote-first role, or focus on own products/projects. Decision deadline: Oct 31, 2025.

• „Commit” = by Oct 31, 2025, 23:59 (Europe/Berlin) I have (i) signed an employment contract or (ii) posted a dated written decision to pursue own products/projects as the primary focus (≥70% work time) and ceased active job search.

• Market resolves to the single option that best describes my primary focus for the period Nov 1–Nov 30, 2025 (tie-breaker = where most work time is spent).

• If no commitment is made by the deadline, or evidence is inconclusive → N/A.
