Be honest. Say you're burnt out. Let them know your family needs to come first for a change! If they demonstrate they don't care there are lots of places in industry or other firms that would love to have you!

You're likely quite specialized, OP. The firm has invested a lot in you and will accommodate you!

Thank you all for the support. Much appreciated. With all the things I'm hearing about LOs, it's pretty scary and can't afford to lose job due to fam obligations. I've leveraged network for local but no luck thus pulled onto travel gigs as message to me is "stay utilized no matter what"

I agree. I joined right out of grad school. First professional job. Had amazing opps US and abroad. Worked with amazing people and then slowly over last 2-3 years the people I grew to be loyal to, started leaving or getting laid off and I started getting pushed around and now it's completely different with all the acquisitions

Agree with PwC1, I have much less experienced than you but I asked to have a more flexible travel schedule, offered to be on at home for longer hours (client is EST, I'm PST) and just told them how much of a toll it was taking on me. They agreed bc I think it was clear I'd leave or have to take a medical leave. They'd rather accommodate than lose that much talent. After all, you are the product they are selling

Thanks OP. EY has amazing culture and is extremely accommodating. If you decide an intra-big 4 move is for you, I'll reiterate your colleague's sentiment!

Your words cannot be more true P1. Thank you
D1-if only I could do that!

It really pains me to see what this company is doing to amazing people. It's horrid. I was a strong advocate for this firm but now I'm a formidable opposer.

Where they go OP? lets join them!

Industry, Huron , EY, small boutiques, hospitals universities ,internal transfers to new LOS

Show them the value you have brought (f they havent seen) and then put your foot down. If not, move to industry. Or sabbatical

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?
