Looking for some career advice: Working as a Wealth Mgmt Sr Port Mgr at a bank with TC at about $180K, mid cost of living city, CFA/MBA with almost 20 years at the bank (~15 years in department).

I don't think I want to go into management due to headaches and moderate pay increases or go somewhere else to start from scratch. I could honestly see myself being in this seat for another 20+ years and taking in a nice salary, 401K match, etc. Would that be lazy?

Depends on your definition of lazy. I feel like you worked really hard to get to where you are. Is it time to quit grinding and enjoy what you’ve accomplished? Maybe you can focus on things outside of your day to day job and find that passion you’ve always wanted to pursue. You’ve done really well SIA, time to enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Not at all, at some point the trade off between a slightly higher salary (especially after taxes) isn’t worth the extra headaches.
