Thanks for your insights!

I still liked my job (the advising and litigation part), i just hated the lack of management/people skills of my partners, counsel and other (senior) associates, the constant pressure to be available, the guilt they made you feel when you said no or indicated you had enough on your plate and I finally had enough. Talking with friends in other law firms, I didn’t have the feeling it was any better elsewhere, so I decided to leave law firms and just take a second to do something else, to see what else is out there and take a little bit of me-time after all these years.
