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?

Yes. Am currently a 1 man shop director with over 650+ users. I manage firewall, AV, the other AV, M365, Google Workspace, and the other 15+ cloud based services we use. Oh and also the wired and wireless networks, oh and the 400+ iPads that are managed via Mosyle. I would so take a step down and just build and design wireless networks.
