It's been miraculous for me. Everyday I wake up in my spacious apartment and hop to the shops to buy a sandwich breakfast whilst whistling merrily at my landlord who grins at me and does a double thumbs up. As I joyfully catch my bus to work, I strike up a conversation with my fellow colleagues and we trade baking recipes and natter about the calm weather. I then saunter into the office where my boss pats me on the shoulder and offers me a raise. After a productive day making the world more efficient, I head to the park and sit on a bench whilst watching the sunset with friends.

(...what kind of answers were you expecting...?)

Tech bro at a non-startup life right there.

This life does not exist, it is a fantasy seen in films and TV shows about young rich creatives.

Tech bro at a non-startup isn’t just like that, but can be very similar. It’s also living in a bubble though. The trick is to find a place with most of the benefits without the crunch.
