Turning down a promotion at work can feel counterintuitive. Climbing the corporate ladder may be the conventional route, but it's not necessarily the best choice for every situation - especially if the promotion on the table doesn't match with where you want your career to go or isn't right for your current circumstances.
How can you say, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' without making things awkward? How to avoid sounding lazy or ungrateful while molding the opportunity to better align with financial and professional goals?
