Hey!

I’m not sure why the post got deleted. But to answer your question. I’m not sure.

My family immigrated to the US and are not very well off. This job, if I do excel, would set me up for success and a comfortable life. However, I’m a very laid back person who hates being micromanaged and pushed. Starting my current job made me lose many of my friends, as an 18 year old I went straight into this position without going to college just yet. I wanted to have enough money to be able to pay all, if not most, of my college tuition out of pocket. I did not want to take out a loan and end up finally paying it off at 40 years old. Starting the job made me lose all my friends, right now I only have my best friend, and my girlfriend. Family too of course.

My girlfriend expressed to me that this new position would take up a lot of my time, and she feels that I won’t have enough time for her anymore. Which is true, a lot of people that I know who work for this company in this role end up losing their relationships and social life’s because it’s so time consuming. Overtime is basically mandatory. 2 Saturday’s a month and 1 Sunday a month. 8-12 hour days. I do fear that I’ll lose my relationship which would leave me with basically no one.

But I want to be financially successful.

Is it worth it for my mental health and social life? I’m not sure.

Do I like the money? Yes.
