Stuck Between Dream Job and Dream Life—What Would You Do? 🤔

I’m at a crossroads and honestly, I feel like I’m losing sleep over it. I have a high-paying job in Chicago that I actually enjoy, but the city just drags me down—gray skies, endless traffic, and I miss the ocean every single day. On the other hand, there’s a job offer in a sunny coastal town I love, but the pay is almost laughable and the work isn’t inspiring at all. Every day at work, I’m either buried in spreadsheets or stuck in meetings that could’ve been emails. But when I think about leaving, I worry about starting over, making less, and maybe even regretting it. Has anyone else faced this kind of dilemma? How did you decide what mattered more—your career or your happiness outside of work? I could really use some advice before the year ends. 🌊💼 #CareerChoices #WorkLifeBalance #LifeDecisions #JobCareer
