That depends on how you're living, of course. If you're a single person and you can be thrifty in a small apartment you could do that. I would bet plenty of people in San Diego live on less, but they may not be living as well as most of us would like.

I mean, you could probably do it with roommates or a terrible apartment and saving every dollar. But San Diego is one of the most expensive cities in the country. $84k there might be enough to survive on, but I don't know that I'd call it "living."

I can try

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
