Recent graduate and currently work in consulting and the money is very good but the hours suck. I have to travel a lot so this screws up my gym schedule and only allows hotel gyms which are not ideal. Most of the time I work so many hours that the gym isn't even possible without missing billable hour requirements.

My free time and ability to self improve outside of work are extremely important to my well being. Some people are all about the money but for me I could care less.

If you could take a job that pays 10-15k less but offers a stable work schedule and steady career progression would you do it? I just started this job and I already hate it. I can do the same type of work and work less hours somewhere else.

What are your thoughts? Stick it out for a year then jump ship or try to get something else now.
