Is it horrible that I just want to find a job that lets me do the same thing every day and not worry about constant growth? I don’t know if it’s the demand for constant growth itself, or if it’s that there’s this expectation without much compensation increase to go with it. Anyone else relate?

Not horrible at all. The constant pressure to upskill and "grow" is exhausting when all you want to do is be good at your job and then go home. Not everyone cares about climbing the ladder, and there's nothing wrong with that.
