I was. Was 5y in the company and thought about retiring there.

Then another company in a different market but building a similar product offered me 2x the salary, with a potential to 3-4x it very easily.

I couldn't say no. The work life balance took a bit of a hit in the beginning, it's been almost a year now, and I feel almost as comfortable as I did in my previous one. I don't regret leaving. I would likely go back to the previous one if they offered me 2x what I make now. :)
