When you reach that point of being in the rat race and knowing it can't continue, having the intelligence and bravery to pivot.  For me, [b]I worked in management consulting, 80+ hour weeks, and could write my ticket anywhere.  Had kids, moved out of DC, and [b]now I work as an exec in an [/b]industry, 830-4 every day, it's great.[/quote][/b]

Can you give any info on how you made this pivot? What you looked for? I'm in 80+ hour a week management consulting and it is sucking the life out of me. [/quote]

Yes I took an industry job.  The easiest way to do it is to take a job with one of your own clients.  I was actually recruited.  I now work as a healthcare administrator.  Consulting is amazing experience but I don't know how people do it long term![/quote]

Yes that's what I've seen, too. Lots of management consultants who get recruited by clients. [/quote]
