W2 Nonsense Work
One of the ways going 1099 improves your lifestyle is by subtracting corporate nonsense.
This includes social functions, extra duties like proposal work, unnecessarily tedious admin stuff, and having to work with people you don't want to work with.
It's actually surprising how much headspace is cleared up by removing all that, allowing you to focus on things you want to focus on.
If the idea of just making more money doesn't 100% persuade you, consider the "nonsense" factor of staying as a W2 and see if that makes the difference.
