Should I Trade Happiness for a Hefty Paycheck? 🤔

Lately, I’ve been losing sleep over a career crossroads. I absolutely love my current job—every day feels rewarding, and I make a solid $140K as an individual contributor. But now, there’s a tempting offer on the table: $210K plus a 20% bonus, but I’d have to step into a management role at a company known for its tough culture. The thought of leaving a job I enjoy for more money is making my head spin. Is it worth risking my happiness for a bigger paycheck and more stress? I’m only in my early 30s, and I can’t help but wonder if I’ll regret chasing the money. Have you ever faced a choice like this? What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😩💸 #CareerDilemma #WorkplaceHappiness #ManagementVsPassion #JobCareer
