Am I crazy for considering a new job with more work and less pay (but much better WLB) just to be happier? I’m burned out in my current role, even though it’s easy and pays well. But I am so miserable. The new job offers real growth potential and a great culture, but it’ll be much busier and pay less. Has anyone made a move like this? Worth it or big mistake?

You'll end up working more for less money and still find yourself unhappy. I suggest that you dig deeper into why exactly you are unhappy. What else can you add to your life that brings fulfillment outside of work? Maybe start a new exercise regimen with that free time, or start a new project of some sort. It's the same net result, you'll end up busier, but without having to take a pay cut, and will likely be happier than if you were simply working more.

I understand your dilemma. I’ve taken jobs with less pay before, but a better WLB, and I don’t regret it. The key is finding a role where you're not just "making a living," but living fully. If the culture is great and the growth potential is there, it could open doors in ways you might not have expected. Life’s too short to stay in a job that makes you miserable, even if it pays well. Good luck!

Busier but better WLB? How does that work? You mean busier during the day, but over all less hours? Or less travel? How is it getting you better WLB? Also if you are burned out, how does busier help? Or are you bored, not burned out?

In general, don't stay in a job you hate, but not quite understanding the trade offs you are considering.

First business trip in 20 months. TSA agent yelled at me for nonsensical reasons. I almost cried. I was worried things would change, but they are just as dehumanizing as always. Felt like home.

So my ultimate goal is to be in deals advisory/TAS team. I spent about 9 months in risk assurance at PwC. I requested to transfer into their core line, but it didn’t work out so I’m now accepting a role at EY within their FSO assurance team to get that GAAP|financial statement experience. Anyone have any recommendations/advice on how to eventually get to deals?
