Just Promoted to CFO—Should I Retire Early or Keep Chasing Big Money? 😰💸

I'm 36, the sole breadwinner for my family with two young kids. I just got promoted from Finance Director to Business Unit CFO/VP at a mid-sized tech company, and my total compensation jumped from $300K to $600K. After a decade at a big tech giant, this is the highest I've ever earned. Originally, I planned to reach our $3M FIRE goal by age 45, but with this new salary, I could hit it by 42. If I stick to my original plan, we could end up with $5M. Now, I'm torn—should I keep working past my FIRE number while I'm at my peak, or stick to my early retirement plan? Honestly, the pressure at work is intense, and I worry I might never see this kind of income again if I switch paths. I feel overwhelmed and could really use some advice from anyone who's faced a similar crossroads. What would you do in my shoes? 🤔 #CareerDilemma #FIREJourney #WorkLifeBalance #JobCareer #Career
