Working for a development company
I'd like to break into the commercial real estate development realm after being in  commercial construction management world for 6 years. 

What is the typical day, stress, work-life balance?  Any insight from a development perspective would be great.  Thanks.

My hours went from about 70-80/week to 45-50/week. \n\nOverall, I'm glad I made the switch. Better pay, better hours and and much more time to have a life. I did get a business degree after my B.S. in engineering, so I think that has made for a good combination in the development side. \n\nThe downsides are: more time spent in the office, dealing with permit offices/zoning, and having to direct the contractor to do something (rather than calling a labor foreman and addressing it instantly).
