[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the responses, but glad it seems like a supportive thread. A lot of us have been in your shoes OP. I turned down 4 jobs in the past 8 years that would have fast tracked my career, raised my profile, and probably resulted in a higher salary today and onward. But I knew in each case it wasn't going to be my dream job, and that it would have lousy consequences for the rest of my life. There are plenty of times where I feel some regret. But I also have seen that opportunities come and go; it's not a single promotion or you're left behind forever. Two years ago I did accept a bigger job. It may not take me to the same heights as some of the other opportunities might have, but I boosted my salary by about 25%, while keeping my work-life balance where I need it to be. Just keep being good at what you do - you'll have plenty of other opportunities for advancement.[/quote]
