The main thing that keeps me in the partnership is that I truly enjoy my job. Not every single aspect, not every single day, but almost. I have tremendous freedom to work on things that interest me. I help people solve hard problems and transform their organizations. It's the whole campus recruiting pitch come true. All of this becomes more and more true the more senior you get. So it's become more rewarding over time.

Makes me want to leave? Well not that much per the above, but the travel does become annoying at times. I don't have kids, so it will be an adventure when my wife and I do have them to see how well I'm able to adapt.
