MA1 - I’ve honestly been waffling on this for at least 3 years now. I’m tired of the rat race. My friends have been begging me to leave consulting for at least that long after seeing the countless late nights and missing birthdays on weekends, etc. etc. I’ve stayed because I love the work, love my company and the amazing people, the opportunities .... but after a certain point, just doesn’t feel worth it anymore.

How long you been in consulting OP ?

Reason I ask is that I have an offer and am wondering the same thing, has my time in consulting run its course ? Is there ever a right time ?

6.5 years

SC OP- your friends are pressuring you to stop doing something you love and are good at?? I would think twice. Friends want each other to be happy, and it’s RARE to find a job you love. Most people never do.

D1 - I love the firm as a whole and the work, but have spent 3 years under crappy Ms and SMs who don’t know how to manager and underfund and underscope projects. And I’ve pushed back and gotten bad ratings. So ... not going to sacrifice my mental health anymore
