When do you know if it’s time to leave consulting? How would you define that you’ve absorbed everything you need to?

I was about a decade in and physical/mental health was completely shot. Recurring anxiety attacks from toxic environment, sleep deprivation. I felt consulting was consuming too much of my personal life, had a lot of resentment built up.

I felt very secure in professional growth and skillset too.

My life is so wholesome and peaceful now, I may boomerang later but for now I'll prioritize my health, hobbies, family and friends.

Gotcha. I still feel like I have more to learn in consulting tbh. I’ve had very low utilization and lack of challenging work for several years so I’m going to give it ago at another firm and then see how I feel …
