Left a stable $130k role in May to do consulting. Wanted flexibility, wanted to be there for pickup, wanted to call my own shots.
Pros: I've actually made 3 pickups this year. Kids barely recognize me from before but we're getting there.
Cons: Income is spotty af, I'm stressed constantly about money, and I work til 11pm most nights anyway because I'm afraid to say no to clients.
Worth it? Jury's still out. But I'm not going back to the old grind, that's for damn sure.
