I say yes OP. Especially if no travel means you get to be home more with a SO or kids

So you're taking the cut to have better hours?

So you're making 156k as a manager and you want to go work a 9-5 for 131K? I guess depending on your field and what kind of life/work balance you're looking for.. it may not be that bad.

Yes. Time is more valuable than money. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves.

I just took a cut that size and haven't regretted it one bit, you'll realize how out-of-whack your priorities were in consulting

I'm expect that you can make a lateral move without having to take a cut. You're going to pay for it down the line anyway with slower salary progression so you need to account for that

Only if you think you'll really like the industry job, you have upward potential in the company, and truly hate what you do now. Reduced hours isn't enough to make you happy (I'm guessing) and you may find yourself bored to death.

Yes! I'd take it in a heartbeat. I actually like the traveling but I'm about to have kids and the thought of not being around to have dinner on the weekdays, just seeing them on the weekends, I feel like I'd be missing out on a lot of their childhood.

Hi Folks,

I'm actively looking for a job change in a profile completely different than what I'm doing currently.

Shall I reject the on site opportunity or go with it and reject the new offer?

What’s the common etiquette for waiting for a recruiter to call you back? Recruiter called me yesterday & left voicemail to call her back. I called back less than 5 mins later and left a voicemail, but didn’t get a call back. Tried calling one more time at the end of the day but no answer. Still haven’t heard anything today. Should I keep waiting or try calling again or send an email? Don’t want to be too aggressive but also want to hear their update & hopefully schedule next round interview
