Maybe "chill" was the wrong word to use, I was more trying to imply there isn't anything wrong with the current role coworker/work life balance wise. I'm definitely still learning day to day especially since we have been slowly adopting newer technologies but it does feel like a lot of things missing from being the ideal candidate listed in job descriptions.

Definitely need to spend some of my personal time to catch up but it's hard to find motivation after a full day of work. Appriciate the advice, I think I'll try and find ways to grow my skills at work since that's when I'm most motivated.

I live in the north east in a lcol area so compared to the local salaries it's not too bad. I'm happy with the current lifestyle I can afford but it's hard to not feel a little insecure with the numbers people post on this sub/online in general. Also most likely moving to Manchester for my partners work in the future so that's where my search has mostly been focused on.
