Yeah, I had an opportunity to take a leadership role, but I I've seen how soul-sucking the job can be so I decided to pass it up. I'm happy enough where I'm at.

Not a promotion but a move that would have been a promotion. I realized that the role wouldn’t have moved my career in the direction I wanted

Ended up laid off a few months later… at the time I regretted it but alls well that ends well. I ended up at another firm where I was much happier

Great. Happy for you :)

Yes, was on track to make director, said I don’t want anymore promotions. Mobility is harder the higher up you go. Don’t regret it, it was the right decision at the time.
