A very well compensated desk job is almost all the time a never ending job. For me, typical day is 8am to 5pm all meetings with people booking even my lunch time. It would be politically incorrect to decline those lunch time meetings. And then 5pm comes and realize you have 200 new e-mails in your inbox plus whatever powerpoint presentation to work on. Yes, I am home every night, but tired, stressed out and my little one doesn’t get to see me that often. Most of the time she’s already sleeping. The work day often extends to 11pm, midnight or sometimes 2, 3 am and still need to show up the next day fresh and the same thing starts all over again! Yea, 6 figure salary: very nice but at what cost?
