[Political Junkie Too]

It sounds like it. I agree that the higher one gets, the more of their life they have to give to the company. The C-level people have very little family life at all.

I turned down many promotions in my working life (now retired)—and I am convinced I made the right call every time.

I enjoyed being the SME (subject matter expert) that the big bosses had to call when they got in over their heads.

One little tip that we found out about remote work (and eventually folks will figure it out)....

If you pay roughly the same salaries for similar work around the country, then you will get your best workers from low cost of living areas.

The reason for this is that you actually paying them a much higher “real” salary than if they lived in high cost areas.

This was one of the “secrets” that we didn’t tell HQ (in a high cost area) about....

While technically their salaries were a lot higher than ours their cost of living was much higher than ours so that our “real” earnings in many cases were above theirs.
