I am extremely happy with my current situation, especially looking at how things have evolved over these last couple of years. Have managed to earn a very good salary with a workload I can easily keep under control and it isn’t stressful.

I will most likely try to find a new opportunity within the same company to increase my salary even further but I guess it will come at the cost of a more heavy schedule and some more responsibilities, which isn’t a bad thing :-)
