I’m starting to feel like consulting has no “middle lane.” It’s either grind yourself into the ground or jump out completely. I don’t want to leave the industry, but I can’t keep living in fire drill mode every week. I need advice on how people carve out a more sustainable path without blowing up their careers.

I agree and i think ive come to the reality that the only option is to leave.

Disagree. There’s certain firms where many roles offer middle of the lane.

I will say, part of it is on you to push back and establish your red lines. Manage your manager. For most of my time here ive rarely worked past 5.30 except for occasional difficult periods

Sounds about right

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

Advice & resources? My spouse and I are starting to make good money (ages 28 & 31, $105k & $70k) with $10k in savings (we were hit hard financially this year) and 2 car payments.

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???
