Saw a post in the consulting bowl and curious if it applies to everyone - people on this app seem to get ‘worked’ over 50 hours a week. I’ve worked ~10 ever since the start of this year and I think it’s fantastic

I’m at a mid-size litigation firm (mostly med mal defense) and really like it, but the pay is a bit low. Huge quality of life benefit though, 7 min from home and lots of flexibility (wife and I have a toddler). A co-defendant firm called and offered me a position at significantly more pay (like double), but the commute would be 1 hour. What would you do?

Looking for some actual information and respectful discoursed, not anecdotal stories or whataboutism, please.

With the high transmission rate of the Omicron variant, what is the likelihood of achieving some semblance of herd immunity? The very real & dark prospect of another 250,000 deaths by April 1st (15MM infections w/ 1.62% mortality) would mean a 30% increase in cases, which is realistic with a R0 value exceeding measles. So with the additional cases + 60% vaccinated, will it just die off?
