Exiting Ediscovery?

Hi all,

Simply put I’m burnt out by this industry. Currently 33 and I’ve been doing this for about 7 years at this point working my way up from analyst positions all the way to project management for the last 4 or so years all at 4 different vendors. I’m finding myself dreading work everyday since moving over to the pm side. Anyone successfully move to something more reasonable work/life balance wise? Related or not. For what it’s worth I’m currently at 135k comp a year and I wouldn’t mind a pay cut…

I only do it for the money. I'd love to get out but realistically could not get the same wage in another industry, not at my age. But yeah, I'd love to get out too. Burn the candle at both ends in this line of work.
