[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for your thoughts so far. I am not *truly* a workaholic in that I don't work until I'm sick, and I don't think my family life has suffered due to work. It's more that I get so much of my identity from my work. I used to have interests outside of work like books, running races, cooking, and entertaining. Now I barely make time for minimal exercise and cooking. All of my time is taken up by work and my family, but that really doesn't seem very different from most of the working mothers I know. I definitely live to work rather than working to live. I am really tempted by the new offer, but I guess I worry that once I downshift career-wise, it's hard to ramp back up in the future if I am unfulfilled at the new job. And as ashamed as I am to admit it, I take pride in my current job, and I worry that friends and colleagues will perceive the new position as a step down. Of course that is really stupid, but there it is.[/quote]
