I’m torn between wanting to go to the next promotion level M to SM. As a POC, there are less than five POC partners and even senior managers. I’m very supported by leadership, but worry I will miss out on life if I go to SM. I still don’t even have a partner. I don’t hate what I do. I often times feel lonely because I’m the first in my family to make it this far. One part of my head is like, go for it why would you get this far and not go further? Another is like, exit now and focus on your life

But like, life happens 🤷🏽‍♂️ there’s always a continuous flow of self improvement it never ends. And the world we live in requires resource$ to make change.

So, idk for the things I would like to accomplish I need resources and since I made it this far this is one way I can continue to get resources.
