[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are same. I have taken my career progression slowly after kids (5 and 2). Make $200 which is 1/4 of DH but I carry the health insurance as he is self-employed[/quote]

Op here - I would be super happy if I made $200K! [/quote]

Op, are you looking at the job for the money? Bc you won't even notice an extra $100k with your total hhi. Is it to make you feel better about working? Or make you feel better at work, compared against your peers? These would all be totally valid reasons, in my opinion, but you did throw me with your reply above bc previously it seemed like you were interested in the promotion for job satisfaction and not the extra money. I think the motivation matters here in our advice! Fwiw, job satisfaction would be a good motivator for me, in your situation. Not the extra money. [/quote]

Op here - I feel like I am extremely underpaid for my position and my degrees. But I have not looked for a bigger job because I have “mommy tracked” myself. So it’s not necessarily for more money but to be paid fairly for the work that I do. [/quote]
