run for your life
That’s a tough one and you are the only one who can decide what is best for you.
I got laid off from my power job a couple of years ago. I worked a lot, somewhere between 60 and 70 hours a week. After I got laid off and spent four months realizing that I had precious little going on in my life other than work, I decided not to go for the power job ever again. It was a little strange at first to be home at 6:00 on a Tuesday night, what do people do at 6:00 on a Tuesday if they’re not working – turns out they play with their dogs, duffer around in the yard, practice the piano, work out… I enjoy not having to carry a picture of my husband around so I remember what he looks like. I have turned down two power jobs since then, one of them for a considerable amount of money – screw the money I don’t care. I don’t want to look back on my life one day and see that all I did was work.
