What about the PO/Pm track are you trying to leave behind and what did you like apart from salary? How long have you been practicing?

Short answer: working 70 hours/week, constant uphill fight to retain resources, always cutting budget corners, and generally burnt out. I thought more money would help me get by, but is there a better way to earn a living? All PMs can’t be burning midnight oil all the time, can they?
