I work as an account manager at software company where I've been successful for the past 5 years and I've been asked a few times if I'd like a leader role. I'm really not bothered by promotion or status, I just want to do a good job whilst having time for my family. But I do love helping my team and I often mentor others, help them present, propose etc and I really like the people I work with. But its high growth so we are asked to keep delivering. I love the idea of helping others, but I have a nice work life balance right now.
However I am bored and I think I need a change - I am also aware that I am extremely lucky to even have this opportunity so sending love to everyone who has not been as fortunate through the pandemic.
Will taking a leader role destroy my life? Is it possible to do it and protect my family too?
