I left my consulting role to go to industry. At the end of this year I will lose all my status (maybe be UA silver). What dawned on me right now is I haven’t boarded in a group lower than Group 1 in over 3 years!!

It will be strange adjusting to this new lifestyle when I travel. Group 5 and in economy no upgrades. Though also relieved I can now just book flights that are convenient and not to figure out how to remake statues. No more company paid business class or frequent upgrades on personal travel. Anyone else go through this?
I have. I just pay into first class now. You can also buy a lot of the benefits even in coach. There's also various ways to avoid the main security line. That's really the biggest benefit that you'll miss except for maybe nice rental car upgrades.
