Has anyone ever left consulting for full time gig doing OF? Left Oct ‘24, I rake in about 12-15k a month (M, 32 YO) and havent really missed my time in consulting. I only put in 8-10 hrs a week, so benefit is spending way more time in gym than i used to with all the extra free time

Not going to judge. OF seems like something with a limited shelf life for most people and $150-180k a year would not be enough for me to throw away a career where you can make more than that for longer.

I’d treat it as a way to bolster savings and retire earlier.
