[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much stress are we talking? Moving to a manager position with 5 reports? 20 reports? Going from 40 hours a week to 60 hours a week?

If we're talking sizeable amounts of stress like 60 hours a week, I guess DH and I are pretty simple folk because I'd say $200k is preferable than messing up our current family dynamic. We are in the DC metro region, and we're comfortable with two kids.

For small amounts of stress like a few extra people to manage... suck it up buttercup and do it![/quote]

OP here. The new role would include a big business development component (which I think my DH would be really good at FWIW) with the upside being a significant portion of new business brought in. This job would be lots of schmoozing - which DH likes and its comes naturally to him - but I still think will be stressful. I don't think he sees it as a forever job, but wants to see if he can sock away a ton of extra money for 5-10 years THEN take a cushy lifestyle job, rather than doing that now.[/quote]
