Is there a point where you felt like maybe leadership wasn’t meant for you? I worked so hard to get to this level but now that I’m here I feel like I’m dying. I’m working 12 to 13 hour days and then most nights I still have emails or paperwork to catch up on. I go days without seeing my kids. This isn’t what I thought upper management would be like. But it took me years to reach this goal and the money is impressive. I feel stuck.

I’m at a point in my career where I need to leave my role if I want to progress as I’m stuck but I’ve realised recently from looking at those around me I don’t admire those above me, so I’ve been reflecting on if it’s worth the additional stress to go upwards for the amount of pay due to the amount of tax we pay. And I realised I don’t. So it’s removed the pressure from myself. You probably need to work out similar.

I think sometimes it's more pressure and effort than it's worth, especially middle management when you're essentially just the fall guy

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level. Lately because of many of her friends getting engaged / married, rings have been mentioned and she’s said pretty much she wouldnt be happy with under 25k.

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff
