Dan, you are young and successful. You will not have this kind of decision-making agony.
I was reflecting last night on life. Some folks do try to make it a safe experience. That will be a failed strategy. Life is not a safe experience, and the wimps just don't "get it." Just as an example, I'd point out that no matter how physically and medically "safe" you try to be, all the wimps are going to die. Just like the brave folks. The difference is whether you lived or not. Life is dangerous. Very dangerous. And the end game is the same for everybody. It's a cup, and you either fill it........or protect it from the danger of having contents.
I might pass up a massive raise also. But the reason would be clear. For example, if the boss lacks integrity. I would bag groceries before I would work for a liar. But I would not back away from a job just because of some risk. That's where the fun is.
