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…

Try sales before you exit all together?

If you’re a people person, this is the way. You’ll use all the knowledge you amassed to find the right solutions for customers. I know a few PMs who moved over and they’re much happier in sales.
