I make an incredible salary so when I tell my husband and friends I want to explore other avenues, they think I'm crazy. If I had more work to do and would be learning along the way, I would stay.

I am very happy with my position, responsibilities, opportunity for learning and the support from all my colleagues and managers, but there is always the idea of greener pastures and higher salaries lingering in the back of my mind.
