[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the feedback. Just in my husband’s defense, he will now make more and will be on a better long term trajectory. (Which I prefer ! Just my “steady” job still ends up being early mornings/late nights/ pressure cooker!

Do people really have jobs that are only 40 hours a week with flexibility to wfh? Feel like it’d be taking a pay cut for the same thing somewhere else.[/quote]

Yes, these types of jobs are real! Without knowing what you do for a living, it’s hard to assess if the pressure and demands of your job are due to the line of work, or a less than ideal employer. My DH was incredibly stressed for years in his previous position. It impacted our relationship, how he interacted with the kids, family/social life, and his health. He loved the mission of his work, though. He moved to another employer in the same field a few years ago and the difference is night and day. He didn’t take a salary kit- in fact, he got a title promotion and a raise. He didn’t realize how dysfunctional his old job/company was until he saw a company doing it right. His job is still high stakes and he has some travel, unexpected long hours, etc, but he had a lot more flexibility and healthier balance. [/quote]
