The part about time being limited (you can't create more) and knowing where to spend yours also applies to career choices. Like the title, slow down and think about it. A move up a ladder from an engineer to manager may not be something you enjoy. Sure it might pay more, maybe there is an ego-boost of moving up, societal status stuff maybe if you are into that. What if you grow to dislike it? What if you go from writing software to writing PowerPoint slides and arguing over spreadsheets of budgets every month? Is it worth a little more money to dislike 2/3 of your days?
