As additional background, my former boss (who hired me) is in the process of retiring. I really liked him as a boss as he would go to bat for us, he was at my company decades and knew all the higher level business contacts so could tell business leads to back off amongst other things. Now I am on a new combine team, have a new boss dumping things on me, new work channels, have to record my time weekly (this was always a requirement but my boss and our prior team never did it. Frankly, i wouldn't have taken this job if i knew). I just feel like I'm in big law all over again. I have co-workers switching teams trying to dump things on me. Ive worked/billed 10-13 plus hour days this past week and many days over 10 plus hours the last 3 months, I need to change something.
I'm contemplating quitting my job and doing and actually enjoy. An the area of practice I'd actually enjoy. Perhaps non-profit legal work. Has anyone done this successfully? As a corporate attorney I have dealt with non-profit formations, etc but have been narrowly pinned to a specific industry the last two years without expose to non-profits

Are you prepared to work for significantly less money?

Great! Then if you can handle it financially, I would absolutely do what makes you happier.
