What should my requested salary be for a Senior Intelligence Analyst position with CrowdStrike ? I have a bachelors degree and 5 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. Current salary is 56k in NC, but when I was in DC I was making 86k (big locality change)… which makes me confused on what I should expect for a remote job.

I have no problem whatsoever taking PTO just for rest and a mental reset. The anxiety of the cost of living is crippling people from self care and it’s downright sad. The fact that people are scared to take PAID time off just to get some rest is baffling to me.

I personally previously didn't do it but now I thjnI should do it. Dragging myself to work affects my performance too and it is unfair on everyone.

I set clear limits. I prioritise my well being too. It helps me stay focused.

That's how it should be. We are not living to work, I feel I had forgotten myself and realising now that this is not the right thing to do in long term.

Yeah, saying no is really hard, especially when you genuinely care about your job and the people you look after. I get that guilt; it feels like you’re letting the team or the patients down, even when you know you’re running on empty.
I’ve had to learn the hard way that if I don’t protect my own energy, I end up being short-tempered, exhausted, and honestly not as helpful as I want to be. So now I try to treat saying no as an act of responsibility rather than selfishness. Like, “If I take this extra shift while I’m already burned out, I won’t be able to give my best, and that’s not fair to anyone.”
A couple things that have helped me set boundaries:
I remind myself (out loud if I have to) that “No” is a complete sentence. I don’t always owe a long explanation. A simple “I’m sorry, I’m not available for extra shifts this week” usually works.
I plan ahead when I can. Like, deciding in advance how many extra hours I’m willing to take in a month, so when the request comes, I already know my limit.
I try to offer an alternative if it feels right like “I can’t pick up Thursday, but I’m free next Tuesday if you’re still short.” It softens the no and shows I’m still a team player.

I always put explanation when I say No, thank you for yhr advice. Sometimes we need people to remind us how to do things whilst we know it. I was feeling snappy on my family so couldn't deal with anything extra. This was a nice first step.
Hey you know what? Good for you! I know I let myself get pushed into doing extra work or taking on extra shifts even when I don’t need the money. Because I’m a people pleaser. Good for you on prioritizing your own well-being.

I am the same but I was mentally on the edge and couldn't deal with my parenthood responsibilities. I am realising now after years of service that I need to look after myself more,maybe I'm too old now 😅
