Leave and I have left. Monday is my last day out of the consulting rat race.
I have. Moving back to industry and working on a really cool product at a much more senior position. I didn’t necessarily do it for pay more so for the opportunity that I wouldn’t get at Deloitte.
I was. Quit the job and got a better one
Yep, short term career pivot until my youngest is out of high school then opening up an art gallery/studio/paint & sip in a small town. Need just enough to keep the lights on and pay for supplies.
I have burnt out. It was a journey but I ultimately found a different job. If you catch it early sometimes you can get on top of it but otherwise I found it really has come down the company/clients I've worked for
Creating margin. Making sure I generally stay within appropriate hours, work with people that value me, have strong boundaries. I also make sure to take plenty of breaks, and to protect my weekends. And therapist...Also having connection socially with friends and others.
I was a consultant for 9+ years, before moving to product engineering. There’s a few things that you can do box your time better:
- Assess how much time things will take better and systematically before jumping on doing it.
- Assess the effort’s worth - if you do it, will it help the company and you as well? (That is would you learn something out of this experience? - some experiences are not worth having honestly).
- often people say give 100%, I say this: give 80%. This means that you give time to yourself and work on yourself.
- take up tasks that you find pleasing and timebox your time with client, you are better if you are rested, day in day out find time for yourself, this would help you in long run. I meditate and have long term goals - are you fulfilling your long term goals with what you are doing with your life in general? If not leave.
