@HappyAlumnus, not everything can be fixed by just changing your attitude like you are telling the OP. I worked in big consulting for several years, and I know partners who would have said the same thing. But they were also slaves to their jobs. I don’t work in that environment any more, and am very glad I don’t. It isn’t for everyone. OP, you said in one of today’s posts that you are having a hard time convincing non-corporate entities to take you seriously – based on this thread you have been looking for something for what, a month or less? Give it time. Hone your pitch about wanting to do something different with your life.

And regarding your SO not wanting to move… what is his/her advice? Is it to suck it up? Move to a less lucrative position and he/she will support you? It is okay to move without him/her? An SO who can’t help brainstorm solutions with you when you are this miserable isn’t necessarily a great life partner, IMHO. Just sayin’.
