I took the higher-paying job and burned out in 6 months

I chased a 30% raise at a company known for grinding people down. The money was great but I had no time and eventually quit with nothing lined up.

Lesson learned

Compensation is only one variable. Ask hard questions about culture and workload before you sign.

    This hit home. I made the same trade and regretted it within a year.
