Hang in there! It sounds like you're navigating the typical Team Lead tightrope – the perks of responsibility and decent pay versus the inevitable daily grind and metric pressure. It's tough to gauge sustainability when you're in the thick of it. Maybe try tracking your hours and stress levels for a month? Seeing it laid out might offer some clarity on whether the 'extra cash' truly compensates for the burnout potential. And definitely lean on those awesome colleagues when you can!
I get what you're saying. That balance between leadership rewards and the sheer weight of responsibility can be brutal. The customer complaints alone can drain you. Have you considered setting clearer boundaries between work and your personal life? Sometimes just mentally 'leaving' work at the door, even if the workload is still there, can make a huge difference. Also, exploring if there are internal training programs for stress management could be beneficial.
