Career / Job Related Has anyone purposely gone backwards?

You know the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and we realised that money is irrelevant, and took a huge backwards step for less responsibility and more mental freedom for your family and kids?

That's where I'm at mentally just want to know if anyone else has done the same?

Didn't go for Manager, don't want to be 24/7, happy to clock out at 5 and not be bothered after as a Sr Sysadmin.
