[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having watched this in my spouse, you should be very careful (and he) to discern if the job is making him miserable or if his personality and characteristics tend him toward being/acting miserably in whatever position he takes. I have seen my spouse in govt, biglaw partnership, and in house positions, and despite the expectations and promises, the result is the same: highly driven, tends to be alpha, butts heads with other alphas, super focused on productivity and getting "clients" answers, obsessed with drilling all the way down and turning over every stone for unpredicted obstacles, etc. Get the picture? If they quit and gardened, they'd still be the same overworking  type a person tending toward miserable work environments. Oh, and then when they do take the lower paying job, they're miserable because they aren't making the money even though "I'm working just as hard and have as much stress, so now I have even more stress!" If it works for your spouse to remove the external stress and he can adjust, great. Just don't assume that is 100% guaranteed. [/quote]

This is a very insightful comment. [/quote]
