Many of us here are older now. What is everyone's thoughts on work/life balance and opinion on risk/reward of more work for sligjtly better pay in the fiat mines?
For context, I am debating whether or not to pursue further a new role where the workload would be like 10x or more and without knowing the potential salary offering (it could be not much more than I am making now if offered a junior role). But, the role on my resume would be great for future employment. I'm just at a crossroads where I don't know if I have the energy required to fill the knowledge gaps quick enough for the upskilling required.
It just sucks because I was handpicked by the CEO for this internship and now I am thinking I may have bitten off more than I can chew as it is an intense amount of work, with a lot of areas in the role that I am unfamiliar with. A very humbling experience. So, I would likely need off-hours to study shit if I really wanted to not look inept. #AskNostr
