Been with my boyfriend for 4 years. His family is much more wealthier than mine (6 cars, owns 4 houses, part of 3 businesses). My family is middle class and I feel inadequate around his family because they’re so wealthy. I feel depressed because I can’t live his lifestyle and sad for our future. His family just bought a house for us and my family can’t even buy a second car. Idk how to go about this situation.

Bain & Company Would you be ok to move out of strategy consulting while keeping the current TC in similar ballpark (~$200k) and improving WLB?
The new role is in industry and the future salary and career growth would be considerably slow as compared to consulting.
