Do it, but keep up with your designs skills. The restaurant industry can be fun, but it’s a grind and most restaurants fail - even successful ones often have a short lifespan

Watch a season of Kitchen nightmares before you head off to that - especially if you have minimal experience in a restaurant. Like less than 5 years experience. nothing worse than owners that don’t understand the steps of service.

and truth with the above - restaurants are rarely profitable. And I don’t just mean “most fail” I mean that even the good ones have razor thin margins.

But if you’re passionate about it, enjoy and best of luck!

Any subcontractors here? I feel like I'm living a double life and having to eat my own time to meet the current project and plan for the next. Then when I bring it up to the lead, I feel micromanaged

I left a great team and high-visibility, high impact project with a client that loved me for a few more $$.

Had I stayed, I would have been festering on comp and constantly worried about my financial future.
Since I've left, I feel financially secure but listless and bored with a lame team on what I've discovered is a skeezy upsell.

Anyone else had to deal with this? Did you boomerang back?
