I always lived below my means so even though there was a pay cut, I still lived my life as usual. While I had better worklife balance, I knew I could make more so I kept looking while holding onto the low pressure job. Interviews went much better since I was less stressed and wasn’t as desperate to leave.

I feel this - that’s in my sights for the next year. What industry are you in?

I’m also in consulting - The working conditions on my current project are horrendous. Asked to most weekends since the start of June and 11-12 hour days

I am chilling on a slow project at my firm.

I moved to a job where I do get lesser pay than before (about ~20K). The head of my team can be a lunatic at times, so when that happens - I find myself being resentful.

I do work less overall though, probably 40-45hours a week

Left one for a big pay bump and WLB. Took a W on all fronts

It's called tech bestie
