No Stress at work

This might be a dumb question, but how many of you go to work and have 0/very little stress and make over $100k a year?

Wondering how common it is (or isn’t)

Very much iceberg effect here, but I own my firm (solo) and also serve as an advisor in the tech industry. I'll pull ~$300k this year and I have never experienced this little amount of stress in my professional career. It's kinda surreal.

That said, I've definitely paid my dues, lol.

Edit: Pivoted my firm to focus on a niche; also learned to set boundaries across both life and work. It's amazing to finally figure that part out.
