No need to look busy when I'm not. Every time I'm in the office and I have to look busy for 2 hours in the afternoon while I wait on other folks, I start questioning my purpose and what I'm doing with my life.

The moment I log off I am with family. I am not commuting 1.5 hours each way (I am based in a city with significant urban sprawl)

I use my breaks and lunches to get personal things done, such as laundry and cleaning. This frees up time in the evenings and weekends to spend more time with my family. Well worth it to me.

I can build my own rhythm. The trick is separating work from home life so the motivation doesn’t blur into burnout.

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?
