For nearly two years now work have told me I work at next level
My parents have been pushing me to move up for better pay
But now the opportunity to progress does not exist in my area
Do I keep working as I have been or really push for better pay?
I get a lot of perks with my role
Should I shelve the promotion and keep going as I am? Or do you think I should advocate for the pay equalling the responsibilities I have taken on?

Do you work from home?
If so then does better pay mean going into the office? Idk but something to weigh up

I do yes and I think that is a really good thing I have right now
But I see what you mean. Think people actually in the main office probably get more opportunities
However the reason I was on this thought was what they have been telling me

Thank you
It’s much better not commuting, temperature control, no noise or other distractions plus not getting consumed by office politics

Open plan offices are not for me

I was offered a manager position at higher pay. I declined the offer because I don’t want the stress managers go through. It’s not for me. So in the meantime I make very little money but I keep my sanity

Meeting my manager tomorrow and will let them know

Money wise I am stopping my spending on some things that should help
Plus home costs should reduce over the next few months
