The only thing I care about is not being a slave to a job. Chasing a leadership title, more money, etc. I have done that and it’s miserable. I’m fine with earning around $100K for the FAR foreseeable future.

Life is short. Use your job and the money from it as a tool to simply live your REAL life outside of your 9 to 5. Stay OUT of debt and lifestyle creep. These companies don’t care about you. Travel and enjoy life! America has really brainwashed us into making work the biggest priority.

Thank you posting this!

I wish more people understood that climbing the corporate ladder is one way to live but not the only way. I was asked recently why I'm not a Director or VP given my experience and had to explain that I've been tapped for those roles and turned them down.

I like recruiting. I like candidate delivery. I make enough money. I don't need a fancy car or a big house, I just want to be happy. Every time I've been tasked with leadership and strategic responsibilities, my quality of life has dipped and I've left the company as a result.

If chasing titles and money is what makes people happy, they should absolutely do that. There is nothing wrong with that. But it's not for everyone.
