I think I'm gonna take a pay cut to do something that I love. What's the point of a higher salary if I work 80 hours a week, travel all the time, have no life, hate where I work, and hate what I do?🤔

What do you want to do

@P4 where are you planning on moving?

Yes!!

@OP what is something you would love to do?

My hourly rate has actually decreased pretty substantially in my several years with the firm. So your premise is also economically backed unless you've always been working over 80.

I should clarify. Not my billable rate. Just salary divided by approx work hours in the year.

🏆💯

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
