Now that I’m getting older, having a steady position and not wanting to climb the corporate ladder has greatly saved my mental health. I’ve turned down multiple promotions just to have a healthy work/life balance. Have you declined any promotions just to have a healthy work/life balance.

I haven't yet, but I think I'm pretty much at the level now where I am content. I have a good quality of life with the salary I make, so another promotion is going to come with more drawbacks than benefits. Taking on additional stress doesn't appeal.

Same here. I am also at a peaceful place in my life that I am content where I am within my career. I’m glad you are there as well. Another promotion would be nice but it comes with new responsibilities.

Absolutely, I can relate! Sometimes prioritizing mental health and balance over a title or raise is the best career move. It’s all about knowing what actually matters to you.

I’m glad you can relate not too many people can which is okay. We are somehow in the position that we can work less and still be able to life to the fullest.

I'm not in the position to yet either. I need every last dollar to stay on top of bills. Hopefully I'll be at a point where I can actually prioritize WLB soon, but realistically I'm nowhere close right now.

I understand but I was once there where you are at. Don’t worry because you will be at a place where you don’t have to work as much. It will be very liberating once you’re in the other side.
