This. It's very, very hard to find the right balance between compensation, workload, and stimulus in a career.
I know plenty of miserable dudes in my age group who are overworked, over-stressed, don't have time to go to the gym, and make less than I do (they do get holidays off though).
Better to err high on pay, and low on workload and stimulus, which airline flying accomplishes.
