I did my best at not being promoted. Promotion equals change. I really liked my salary and remote position. Any extra responsibility would require me to do more work. Sure, I'd get paid more but the stress would outweigh the pay.

If you're ever down with not getting a promotion, just know that there are ways to think about it that might be constructive.

This is where I am. I'm remote senior level and got offered principal but 3 days in office which would mean moving cities and WAY more pressure in a department that's had issues. Probably a 50k raise but I'm doing fine as is. I'll keep my sanity.

Cool, but I’m not sure that’s the topic of conversation.

> and say that not getting that promotion isn't necessarily a failure

I thought it was because of this part. I gave another view of how not getting a promotion would not necessarily be a failure.
