I’m trying to get out of Deloitte because busy season is more than half of the year. And I am in tax so I can’t spend summers with my kids. I have kids under 10 yr old and I am missing out in their lives. I could stay and try to make PPMD but my kids will basically live their childhood without a dad. My PPMD tells me that I am on PPMD track but I feel like they just want me to not quit. Is this just a wishful thinking, to quit and find a regular hour job and spend more time family?

Personally, I think you likely have enough brand capital to still land a job that provides well for your family while still allowing you spend time with your kids.

So what are the alternatives? Have you sought those out to see what's viable? Kids don't usually appreciate the paycheck.. they just want you present. Might be worth at least laying out the alternatives, or rearranging your present situation to find small opportunities where you can spend meaningful time with them periodically

I'm at Deloitte GPS Consulting. Many Federal projects have wonderful WLB. I'd suggest try switching to public sector while the kiddos are young find a tax/audit project.
