I am a software developer with a Master's degree. I keep getting offers to interview with the Big Fish in tech that could pay me twice my current salary and open doors to other places due to the "branding", yet I keep declining them. In my current dead-end job as a developer, the tech is grossly out of date, the job is a soul-grind, but I survive with a <2 hrs a day workday. There is nothing to learn in my current job, nor any prospects to further advancement, just all that extra time.
Today I got another offer to interview and at first felt a little guilt and fear before turning it down, but then I realized where both the choices of either accepting or rejecting the position could lead and now I am at peace letting it go. Have you given up much better career prospects to keep chasing the fastlane dreams?
