Average real hours/week incl. overtime: 30-60 depending the projects, I try to balance out overtime by working less in weeks after a busy period.
Shiftwork or 9 to 5 (flexible?): 9 to 5 but flexible, if I can't be available during office hours but will do my work at another moment, that's fine as long as I let people know

5. MOBILITY
City/region of work: Hasselt, Limburg
Distance home-work (km's/time): less than 1km I think, couple of minutes? I live so close this is ridiculous to compute, I basically live two streets over
How do you commute? *Car (it would take a while on foot, I should really get a decent bike, but to be honest I'm just always late because living so close to work made me lazy in the morning)
How is the travel home-work compensated: the car and non-existing electricity compensation
Telework days/week: In theory we only have to be in the office one day every week. Me and my team choose to be there most often. (It's so close for me, I just let the rest decide what they want to do, I personally only really care that we have certain meetings face to face, the rest is up to them.
6. OTHER
How easy can you plan a day off: Easily: I'm very busy so you'd think not that easy, but as I carry the responsibility for my team, I can usually take a day off very easily as long as I know it won't screw with our planning. I do have to make sure not to take time off at the same time as another team member, though.
Is your job stressful? Yeah. Quite.
Education possibilities: Not really. All education possibilities are things I set up, so they're mostly things I at least know enough about to be able to explain as much as possible and know how to get answers to the rest. That way I can at least offer some knowledge sharing to my team.
Responsible for personnel (reports): yes
I'm thinking of changing jobs, but I don't want to go too far (like Brussels or Antwerp), so I don't know if it's worth it. I would like a job with more education possibilities and more growth potential for me, but I also really like working close to home, it has so many benefits. Also, I would love if the people management aspect that is now included in my team lead function, would still be part of my job in the future, but I know that the real people management tasks are usually not part of a developer's tasks, even if they are the team lead. If someone has some career advice, don't hesitate to tell me. Even if I decide to stay there for a good while longer, it might be useful in the future. 😊
