My salary jumped from $120K to $155K when I changed companies last year. I thought it was mostly lateral but the new workload is way heavier, expectations are higher. Some days I question whether the extra money is worth the stress. How do people decide what their peace is worth?

Grass is always greener, but that being said in this current environment if you want to make more you’ll take on more. Then hopefully it will be a continual cycle on bigger increases and more responsibilities. As long as you can continue to over produce or exceed expectations.

For me the cutoff is when the stress starts following you home. If you're making more money but you can't enjoy it because you're too tired or anxious to do anything after work, the raise isn't worth it. Only you know if that holds true. If it does, there's no shame in taking a step back. WLB is important. Don't sacrifice it.

Better getting a bump than getting nothing and having more responsibilities piled on. Important to figure it out before you take it. Very hard to go back down.

Hey all,
So I’m currently interviewing for another position, to be a business development specialist at a relatively large tech company in PA. I have about a years worth of experience. Indeed estimates the salary to be between 60k-80k, I was wondering what I should expect?

I know it’s not FAANG, but how is Uber as an exit op? My understanding is that comp is a little on the low side. If I’m at 4.5 YOE, would $125k TC be feasible there? Or is that going to be out of their range? Role is for a Strategy & Operations Manager in a HCOL city.
