High Paying Job Drains all my Time

[nicksaiz65]

Going from a salary of $75,000 per year to $120,000 per year is impressive. There are more expectations and more demands when you earn so much more.

That being said, there's so much to learn at this job that it is extremely exhausting. I'd say I have, maybe one more year before I'm totally burnt out? I need to figure out a solution to this.

After I get my contract renewed, I’m highly considering a two week staycation. That might help me mentally so I can do another 6 months. And give me something to look forward to.

Well... I say that, but I'm listening to a Podcast as I currently work haha.

It really does make work like 10x more enjoyable and it's stopping me from burning out.

I'm vaping cannabis while having my trousers snake licked, but whatever floats your boat.

Is your main source of income writing now? I definitely envy that lifestyle..

If a high paying job is draining all your time, it's not high paying.

Work is never about how much you make, it's always a function of how much you make per unit of time worked.

If you are working 65 hours a week making 120K, you actually are simply working for the same pay as someone working normal hours being paid $73K.
