I’ve heard the biggest difficulty is the monotony.

Yeah that scares me, but now with a baby at home I feel like these crazy hours aren’t worth it. Guess it’s trade-off

You could always try out industry - but don’t burn any bridges when leaving. Then if industry isn’t what you want it to be, you’ll still have the option to go back into public.

Yeah I’ve been trying to look into industry. Had couple of interviews, but wasn’t feeling the position. I found another one last month, but with the holidays we were just able to schedule an interview now which puts me in a tough spot if it’s something I want with being in busy season

At the end of the day, an employer can’t take this stuff as a personal attack and if they do they aren’t the kind of people you want to be working with.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend leaving during busy season and if this company likes you they won’t pass on you just bc you say hey I don’t want to burn a bridge with my current company the earliest I could start is X day. Also with that being said, there are always people under utilized who can step in if it’s too much with the baby. They key is to just be flexible and open with your current employer to not burn a bridge.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
