Any moms here go part time for a few years when you had babies/toddlers at home? If so, better to go hourly? Also did it affect your career in the long run?

I did. I worked remotely, part time for half of my full time salary for 2 years (kept benefits and took a regular check, just 50% less). Loved every minute of it and I know I was lucky to have that opportunity and stay connected to things at work. If you can figure out a way, certainly do it! The break allowed me to stop being jaded and love what I do again, plus I got time with my babies. We traveled a ton, had a billion experiences and they remember exactly none of it. :)

That's the catch 22. For me, I decided to chase the work dream when my boys were babies/toddlers. I carried them for 9 months, I'm the most attached to them so they wouldn't forget mama (my rationale). I decided to work from home more during the tween/teen years, a time most parents would work more. I felt this was more critical in shaping them as young adults, mitigating bad influence, etc. because as you said MD1, they remember nothing before age 5-6. Those memories are only yours. Do what works for you!

“your weekly rate covers your salary for the full week. Our general work schedule at R/GA is Monday through Friday, however, all salaried freelancers are eligible for a discretionary bonus which factors in extraordinary time you bill to jobs outside of our general work schedule as well as your overall performance. This discretionary bonus would be paid out on a monthly basis and is not guaranteed.”

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
