So switch jobs -- it's a good time. I did it at a very BAD time, right at the dotcom crash time, from a safe rewarding job as a senior developer doing mostly C++, to a scary risky freelance job doing mostly Python... and my quality of life became MUCH better. Now I'm an employee again, and even happier -- I work for Google, where Python, C++ and Java are all primary technologies, and every day's a joy. At least in the Bay Area, the jobmarket for Python programmers is wild, right now -- firms such as Google, Pixar, BitTorrent, IronPort, etc, etc, all hungry for Pythonistas -- BayPIGgies mailing list bitching over too many job-offer posts, and the nuisance of all those recruiters haunting our monthly meetings and how much time they take, ...!!!
