Is it wrong to use 'As equally significant as'?
I was preparing for IELTS and I used an online correction service, which corrected the following sentence I had used.
Original:
"Due to the monetary benefits brought by careers, working has become as equally significant as the other aspects of life hence creating a balance between work and pleasure has become a farfetched goal."
Corrected:
"Due to the monetary benefits brought by careers, working has become equally significant to the other aspects of life. Hence creating a balance between work and personal life has become a farfetched goal."
I want to confirm if the usage of "as equally significant as" is wrong in my original sentence. Is it because I use "as __ as" and "equally" together, which means the same?
