Hello guys! Just want to share and ask your thoughts. I'm a VA, earning 110k working for two different clients. I have been working the night shift for almost 5 years now and over the last few months of observation and upon writing this, sobrang nafefeel ko na my health is declining.

To give you a background about my work:

First client (Almost 2 years na ako dito) - 9pm to 6am, 70k, no option for flexibility, mabait naman, lenient but strict about time tracker, and parang walang pakialam kapag may sakit ako.

Second client (Almost 5 months) - Flexible time, they only require me to work for 1 hour at night for team communications, 50k but getting a raise every 2 months, no time tracker and very appreciative client and I feel I am growing personally and profesionally.

Sobrang pagod na pagod na ako magwork ng night shift especially sobrang challenging for me na matulog sa umaga, kahit antok na antok na ako, di pa rin ako makatulog and sobrang nag gain ako ng weight, from 72kg, I am now 90kg, I have no more time for myself and family and gusto ko naman ng normal working hours.

I am planning to resign sa first client ko pero may takot pa rin sakin na kaya ko bang imaintain yung lifestyle ko having 50k salary or magbabago talaga ng malala yung lifestyle ko.

I understand that it will be a huge drop sa salary ko, pero I know na mas magiging masaya ako knowing that I can have more time for myself, friends and family.

Now, going back to the question and ask about your thoughts, would you drop your salary by 50% to be happy?
