I'm at the highest level of the technical track within the division of the company that I work for. Moving up probably means moving to a different town or spending a lot of time in China, based on who is getting hired or promoted into those positions.

I don't want to move.

The town that I live in is a nearly ideal place to raise kids. Good public schools, educated and tolerant populace, nearby university, things like high caliber music programs, and stuff is close enough together that they don't have to spend 1/2 of their life in a minivan.

It's a pedestrian- and bike-friendly town. My spouse and I both bike to work. The kids walk, bike, or take public bus to school. I think this is better for their bodies and all of our brains.
