Emily Hayes , 32 , graduated from Stanford Law School in 2019 .

By the time she turned 30 , Hayes was earning over $300,000 a year.

Hayes found herself working overtime on a Saturday morning to prepare for an arbitration, just hours after leaving the office at 11 p.m. the night before.

Product counsel roles, particularly popular in Silicon Valley , involve working in-house at tech companies to provide legal and regulatory guidance.

Hayes says the $ 150,000 pay cut wasn't a sacrifice; it was an investment in her health, her relationships, and her future.

Hayes: "The biggest change with this pay cut, anything, has just been shifting my mindset around money" The hardest part of her new gig has been figuring out how to spend her suddenly free evenings and weekends.
