I got out of the rat race of consulting when my oldest child started kindergarten, and my youngest was about one year-old. I went into industry and had a “normal job” for 15+ years. Got to do all the normal parent things like coaching youth soccer and basketball, supporting my kids through things like scouts and generally was a “not much travel” Dad.

Foolishly decided to get back into consulting when my youngest child was finishing high school.

When you have kids you need sustainability over money. Simplify so you don’t look back on those years in regret. If kids are for you. Most people have kids and try to maintain their prekids situation. Everything changes.

They need me at my job, but I’m being way under paid. I’ve asked twice for a pay increase. (With a no a a response) I want to put in my two weeks notice to see if they would consider giving me a pay increase.. but I don’t have a back up plan right now to do so. Any suggestions. It hard for them to find employees and the turn over rate is to the rooftop! I would be hard to replace at a short notice now that they are hiring like four new physicians and providers
