Have any of you thought of switching from high-intensity jobs to something more low-key and/or part-time? Riddled with high levels of work anxiety, and am fantasizing about getting out.

Yes. This is the issue we’re dealing with now. I’m trying to switch to an internal position. If that doesn’t work out I have to look elsewhere. Consulting is no longer working for me.

I switched to an internal role that I love. I wfh everyday with a remote national team. I’m also passionate about the work that I’m now doing. Win win and I feel super lucky/blessed with my situation

Yes, I call it my postman syndrome - fantasising of getting control of my time with simple and repetitive tasks allowing time for meditation and introspection ... I know this would kill me in real life but like the idea some time in a while....

I switched to an internal role as well - life changing. We're expanding the role to other teams at my firm and have an opening for someone with healthcare experience - if you're interested send me a burner!

I have no idea what this burner thing is but I’m interested just reading about it M2

List an email I can contact you at! If you don't want to list your real one then spin up a new one for this purpose (burner).

Just saw this article on LinkedIn by Melinda Gates... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/were-sending-our-daughters-workplace-designed-dads-melinda-gates

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.
