I work for an organization in the military that has a very high "operational tempo". It is an organization that demands certain qualifications that are not easy to acquire. Even having those qualifications doesn't guarantee you'll get in. It's a job I've wanted for the past 15 years. 2 1/2 years ago I was accepted into the organization and it has been a ride like you'd never believe. But, it's not worth my marriage. I'm leaving the organization and going back to the "larger" military. It's not about me anymore. Not now.
If you can do the same (and be OK with it) it might be something to consider. Can you not work late? Or..can you make some changes that would put you in a position over the course of the next 6 months to not have to work late?
Just some thoughts...not suggestions...just thoughts. Only you know what you can and cannot do.
