I’ve watched people sacrifice decades chasing partnership. They missed family milestones, constant stress, even health issues only to get there and realize it wasn’t what they wanted. The money and title are huge, but the trade-offs are brutal. I can’t help wondering if, after investing so much, people feel trapped, like walking away would make all those years of grind meaningless. If you made it all the way to partnership and realized it wasn’t for you, would you walk away, or is the sunk cost too big to ignore?
