If you are questioning if a bigger title and more responsibility is really what you want, that instinct is telling. It can feel like a betrayal to your ambition if you don't want to take on more.
Not everyone wants the same things from life—and that's a good thing. Valid reasons to decline a promotion include a desire for work-life balance or contentment with current responsibilities.
If you truly feel a promotion isn't right for you at this time, it doesn't have to be the nail in the coffin of your career. There are plenty of ways to grow in your current role.
You might consider taking on new projects, working across departments, mentoring, or even pursuing continuing education—these can enhance your career without requiring a formal promotion.
