[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]the extra time is not worth the pay cut[/b]. You will regret it later. Have you tried to change your private sector role?[/quote] This is very personal. Twice Ihave taken substantial paycuts (25% or more). Once I did it for a corresponding cut in hours and once I did it for more interesting work. For us a HHI of 200-300k is very comfortable (I would say we are rich because while we have a small house, one cheap car, and kids attend public schools we also don't worry about what we are spending on a day to day basis). Making more in exchange for spending more time at work made me less happy-- basically I tried to find things to spend money on to make me less unhappy. Probably if I was at a firm I'd convince myself private school was worth the money (and maybe it would be, compared to the other things I could spend my money on) but I have never regretted either of those paycuts/job changes.[/quote]
