I'm planning to ask for a pay rise, but I'm also considering negotiating for reduced hours instead. I've been struggling to stay in front of the screen for long periods, and I feel that I would benefit from having more free time after work. Currently, I work from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I'm unsure which option is better in the long run: a pay rise that looks good on paper or requesting more free time?

It depends on your position. If you're a junior I requested a reduction in hours and unfortunately it was perceived as being less invested in my career and resulted in fewer opportunities. If you're already established in your career this is less of an issue.

I’m 27 & going to go to back to college for my bachelors. I have worked in the legal field for about 8 years & I’m burnt out. After a lot of research an thought I am leaning towards either architecture or interior design. I wanted to ask some advice from anyone working as an architect or interior designer. How do you feel about the field? What are the stress levels like? Do you enjoy it? Are you working at firm or are you working independently? Any info helps! Thanks 😊
