Have a good opportunity to contract at least for an year. I worked my way up over the years - so a bit scared about giving up the Director position for a contract position.

Contracting should pay well, and I might have an opportunity to be permanent - but giving up the security and the title is a challenge in my mind

Sounds like you’ve got it figured out then

Nope, not figured out yet

I am in a similar position. Gave up a director position and went to a smaller firm in a different role and position. My priorities changed. I don't want to travel much. Rather spend time with my family and enjoy many of the small things I was missing working insane hours at the firm. The pay is the same and the title thing does bother a little.. I will get over it.. lol

KPMG1 - that’s exactly where I am - I like the security, and the familiarity, but the travel is getting to be really bad

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
