yes,
you don't break the corp. it breaks you. i have watched it break many (good) people. somehow i've been the exception. i've got far more freedom now than when i was a consultant. (then again i keep waiting to wake up one day, pink slip in hand)

now i just have to figure out how i'm going to make a 10am meeting tomorrow

the real perk is a window seat 42 stories up. the rest is just fodder
