I’d echo this. Being in control of your schedule is more important than a few more dollars, especially for those with children. The same goes for people who just retired from the military. After spending 20+ years on deployments, time at home and being in control of how much and when you work is huge. I definitely value the time I had at home with my family as a senior first much more than what I could have made chasing promotions. This is just a job, the important stuff in life is not at work.
