Depends if you want to make money and have options or not. You can coast along your whole life in an easy job and someone else's spareroom if you like but that life is not for everyone.

I disagree. The higher up you are the less you do. Your responsibilities change and you become responsible for the performance of others. If you play them right they are ones who work hard, you can go for a swim just before lunch. If you play them extra well, you can pick a fall guy to take the blame instead of you, and anything good that happens is because of you. Never be the bearer of bad news.

I quit because they wouldn't change my title to C-level, which it effectively was, so fuck them.

Sound like they realized you were a terrible manager and were pushing you out. Maybe you aren't as clever as you think.

Long story, but you're wrong. Were I cleverer, I wouldn't have started.
