After years of thinking I wanted to climb the ladder, I’m realizing I might not actually want a promotion. I like my job, I’m good at it, and I don’t crave more responsibility or meetings. Is that selling myself short or just being honest?

I think it’s good to be honest about what you want! If you’re happy where you are there’s no point in moving, you might want to one day but for now just enjoy where you are.

If you know you wouldn't want the extra responsibility it's best not to take it on. I can't blame you for that. The only problem with that approach is that you can wind up being pigeonholed and people will expect you to be doing the same thing in perpetuity. Just something to think about.

I think that’s fine! If you’re content with your position right now, then why not!

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
