This might be the wrong sub to ask this question but anyway.
I want to really understand , is making it big in the corporate world worth the grind.
I see VPs and Partners at big firms having terrible personal lives but are living a lifestyle that some can only dream of and seem to be enjoying it.
There is an inherent desire in every human to achieve more and make it big in any field.
People who have seen corporate success and left it for something else, please tell me .
I am sure no one is born with a desire to make it big in the corporate world. Kids in early days are more interested in sports, arts etc. But from middle and high school, we are fed this idea that making it big in the corporates can give you everything you desire.
Tough question but I want to understand this from people who have experienced it.
