[quote=Anonymous]I drew the line at large amounts of travel (more than 1 - 2x per month). It was a hard decision, but I'm glad I did. I personally am just unhappy traveling a lot, and it's hard on my home/family life. It was a career-limiting move, to move up further in my company, I would need to be willing to travel at the drop of the hat any time they wanted as much as they wanted.

I think the line is really different for each person. Some get a charge out of a really demanding job. Others are drained by it.

The one thing is though that I do think money shouldn't be the only driving factor for leaning in. Studies have shown that over a certain income level, your happiness doesn't go up any further. Absolutely, I think it's great to be ambitious and want to be able to provide first-class education to your kids, great vacations, nice housing, etc. But I think if someone is leaning in ONLY in the name of money beyond their basic needs (rather than personal fulfillment), that's a mistake.
