I don't think I would choose another career but the pressure to constantly deliver results and manage client expectations are definitely not easy to navigate. What compensation, and be exact with your number, do you think would make it perfectly worth having this career for you?

I think the answer is nothing. I’d be making $300K+ in consulting right now, but left for industry a few years ago and make ~ $180K.
I leave work at 5pm every day, I go to all of my kid’s school shows and activities without pushback from my job. I have a really good life. I just had my second child and am not as anxious to go back to work as I was when I worked in consulting.
Money just isn’t everything.

Love that for you D1!

Delivering results and managing stakeholder expectations are “pressures” that are part of most/all roles, particularly ones that are “well compensated”…The question I often tell other consultants to determine if they are feeling this pressure is…are there other careers that your skills match that have similar pressure but pay more? Are there other careers that have less pressure but pay same or less that interest you? To me, that’s the path forward/equation.

Lots of food for thought here. Thanks so much for your response!

Is this question for folks not consulting? I’m in consulting, my current salary is enough to justify it otherwise I would have left.

No, it was definitely for consultants. I guess not all of us have it as good as you do.

HiAll, My lead resigned and my manager informed me just 2 weeks before her lwd on this and asked me to take up all their responsibilities. I don't think this is not a professional way to handle things and KTs are not properly given. I'm really worried if this will affect my career. I'm not really interested to work in this project. I have tried many ways to release me from this project . But manager is really amendment to release as there is no senior member in the team.
