What keeps you returning to consulting/not switching to industry? And what framework(s) do you use to weigh the value of your personal time & happiness against what you earn/benefit from putting in consulting hours on (what’s likely for many) tech delivery projects that get redone by the next team <5 years later?

I’m not smart enough to get a job in industry. Consulting just requires bill shitting

I’m still because all of my friends are now Dirs and Partners.

I value having an easier time navigating the politics than to reestablish myself elsewhere.

Figure if I make partner I can make just as much as in tech or elsewhere.

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️

Is there a point to buying back calls you sold early if they are insanely OTM? Fake example) Sold a PLTR 4/16 $35 strike call for 10 cents, now its worth 1 cent.
