Did so quite a few times in the past, but I'm in the game dev industry and it's extremely uncommon for someone to be at the same place for more than three years.

Since this is an adult webmaster board, let's make one more question. If you could use your skills in another business instead of having your porn business, would you change your job for 10% better income. How about 50%?

Yep. And yep. I do this for the money, and the enjoyment of making that money. I want to retire someday so I can hang out with my wife. Money is the only way that's going to happen, so that's what I'm after. 10%, 50%, sure.
