Is a good paying job worth the stress?
I am in a company that pays well and have a good culture overall.
However since i am at the senior post, mental stress due to work and targets is too much. I almost hate going to the office because of the feeling of stress the day will bring to me. Even the weekends are stressful because i keep worrying about the targets.
Sometimes i just feel that i should quit and make less money doing something else.
Is that normal?
Someone else going through this?
More money, more stress.
The other kind scenarios are very rare and very few lucky ones get them.
Quit if you don't like the work.
I like the work but the stress that comes with it overtakes everything.
I dont have too many liabilities right now but i haven’t been able to save much as well because i had a failed startup before this job. So kind of worried that life might get difficult if i take the decision without a plan.
It is not normal. Prioritization of mental health is hard to do due to pay-cuts. In addition, taking care of mental health is usually judged as individual being weak.
People should prioritize mental health but very few do this until they end up in some mental/physical health issue.
