$800,000 is a lot of money, even after taxes you'd only have to work a few years at that salary before you could live reasonably comfortably for the rest of your life without working at all. Seems perfectly reasonably to switch to a lower stress career at some point.

The personalities attracted to the role aren’t really amenable to thinking that way.

  There's also lifestyle inflation, and of course retiring early rarely impresses your spouse.

  People do change, especially when exposed a long time to stressful environnement. Ask post-burnout fellow. Fortunately most re evaluate their life before going to burn out.
