After 10 years in consulting, I've completely run out of motivation, enthusiasm and ambition. I'm basically tired of working my balls off on projects that I couldn't care less about. However, I've got a family to support and no private income, so I still need the dosh.I've decided that I no longer care about status, career fulfilment or a sense of self-worth. I basically just want to do as little as possible for as much money as possible. It doesn't have to be a fortune, but doing b*gger-all for around £60-70K a year would suit me.Any suggestions for where I might find a suitable position?

Hi Fed Up,Having worked with BIG4 until 1 and half year and doing contracting since then I am exactly in the same situation as you are. Perhaps I am one step ahead of you considering I was so fed up with my current contract that I asked to terminate it early. When I resigned from my £500 a day contract job I was having the exactly same thinking i.e. working as little as possible for as much money as possible and would settle for £60-70K for a job which can give me job satisfaction, a job I can love, a job which will give me work/life balance. I am in job market since last 1 month and things are not sounding very promising. I do have savings which will take care of me and family until end of the year. It was the gamble which I took however, I am hoping the decision will turn out in my favor.Just 1 thing you need to be aware of a person earning £60-£70K outside consulting can not have a work/life balance job considering people who are earning £70K in industry are playing senior management roles and have f****ing high responsibilties which won't let you sleep anyways. I think the best bet would be getting into contract jobs. Any £400 a day contract can give you work/life balance. On this rate if you only work 12 days per month ( on an average and factoring the period when you will be looking for contract) you will still be making ~£60K.If you can't get £400 a day you may want to go for £350 a day and work for bit more days i.e. 15 day a month to make up your £60K annual salary. And in contracting if you use your company your 60K will be equal to 72K!!I will watch this space for others views!!
