I have a job that pays incredibly well but it comes at the cost of working late, perpetually being stressed, and dreading waking up on the weekdays...and going to bed on Sundays. I'm at my breaking point -- I've worked 60-70 hours for the past 3 months and I've grown to resent the teams I work with. I want to quit, but I would be giving up a job that most in my industry want.
I know that I can find a job elsewhere making half what I do now. My mortgage is basically paid off and my wife makes good money. Our expenses are incredibly low given our income (~40-50%). I know that if I can stick with this for 5-6 more years I can pay off my house and have ~1M in the bank. I'm just not sure if I can do it and I'm just not sure it's worth it.
I'm here to get a bit of perspective. I'm wondering how much everyone values more free time -- would you give up 20k? 50k? 100k? At what point do you say "Fuck it I don't care, I'm done."
