Irish Professionals Who Took Pay Cut - Work-Life Balance Stories

Have any of you ever taken a pay cut to improve your work-life balance? Or are you considering doing so? I'd love to hear from people here in Ireland (or Irish people abroad) who have decided to step down a rung or two of the career ladder or chosen to sidestep the ladder altogether to prioritise their health, wellbeing and overall life satisfaction levels. I would feature their stories in an Irish Examiner article. I'd be so grateful if you contacted me at [email redacted] or here on LinkedIn 🙏 #journorequest
