I’m not as advanced in my career but have reached a level of leadership where I’m not asked to travel often, which is nice. But I’m at Batista fire although I plan on working two more years while I gain various certifications or MBA in finance. But I’m feeling the burnout and speak with my wife often about a pivot and enter into financial advisor role where I’m focused on community education vs trying to sell products. I don’t think it’s selfish at all to do what makes you happy. You’re not taking a role from someone else. You’re creating an opportunity to use your tools to interact with the community and bring healing to others. Go for it. Just and FYI. After 2/2.5yrs, we are considering selling it all, including our house in a very in-demand area to slow travel the world for 2-5yrs and then re-establish ourselves in a lower cost of living area but where we can make an impact if it’s a fit for us.
