[quote=Anonymous]I have chosen to lean out at multiple times in my career (staying engaged and interest in the work but not going for the bigger promotions) and I think I’d be unhappy if I hadn’t made that choice. I even went part-time for a few years. I can chaperone at field trips, be home to help with homework etc. BUT there are three things that make this okay: (1) we have enough income / savings / inheritance that I don’t need the higher salary. There are things it would be nice for, but not needed. (2) I do my best not to be jealous of the folk who started after me who have promoted above me. I picked my path and they picked their and both have pros and cons. But it can be hard at times. (3) in my case the salary difference if I’d pushed hard would be maybe $15-20k / year. And that’s not all that likely. As my kids age I might try for other roles (or not) but I might have felt differently if I were “missing out” on $100k / year. [/quote]
