Depends on age. At 20-30? Yes, bc work is part of a social life and being connected to society. 30-40? Maybe, depending on family needs (I chose to bc I liked having an outside life and would not enjoy stay at home parenting.) 40-50 is where it gets harder to stay. When things are good and you are advancing and relevant, it’s great and meaningful and engaging, but when bad management is killing the vibe and you are not getting anything out of it but the paycheck? Then you start thinking hard about how your time could be better spent and it’s not a big leap to quitting from there.

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management.
