It depends on your support system in place. If you have a partner or childcare provider who is able to consistently (and agreeably) be there to help take care of your kids and hold everything down at home, that much of a compensation jump might be worth it. And depending on the type of travel, it may be valuable and interesting career experience. I think it’s a very personal choice and depends on the candidate’s specific circumstances.
Is there any way to find out if it’s closer to 30 or 50? It also depends on how old your kids are. If it’s more likely to be 50% and the kids are under 14, pass. If you have the skills and experience to get this high paying job, that means another company, that doesn’t require you to be gone 50%, will see your value at that level as well.
Nope, not worth it. You'll wake up one day and they will be grown and you will regret not being there.
I’m a single mother (no coparent) so couldn’t reasonably do this unless they were willing to cover travel for my kid (who’s probably old enough to amuse himself while I work). Honestly, this is probably the biggest barrier to my career growth. I just can’t travel the amount that’s expected of more senior positions. I think companies should cover the cost of child care/child travel if they ask their employees to travel a significant amount. Or pay enough salary for them to accommodate child care (or hell even pet care) while they’re gone. I have animals too so this gets way too expensive for me to afford. But you know those companies asking for 30-50% travel aren’t paying any more than the light-travel positions 😒 no thanks
Nope. I like to be home for kid stuff. Doesn't seem like a popular response in this thread but that's the truth.
No. The hour that I have after coming home and before my kid’s bedtime is the best part of my day. No amount of money or career advancement is worth missing that 50% of the time.
Could, yes. But really wouldn’t want to. Before kids I would have said yes. Now that I’m a mom, my priorities have shifted and I realize how short these years are and I don’t want to miss more than I have to
If your kid is 5, it’s probably not worth it tbh
This whole thread is so honest and full of mom goodness ❤️
Yes.
Probably depends on age of children too
Also, YES, our jobs should absolutely pay for childcare.
👏🏻👏🏻 exactly! Don’t know why the U.S. can’t catch up with the rest of the developed world. At least cap the cost at a certain percentage depending on salary and subsidize the rest. People spend way too much of their income on child care in order to earn that income. You basically have a huge tax just for being a parent.
You could always do it for a year. 5 is still pre k... Get your house in order then find a new job. How many chances do you have to double your salary for interesting work? I say take the risk... ( I have a 2 toddlers)
Not worth it . You would be choosing money over quality time.
Having travelled about 30% for work with a small baby, I can tell you that I missed out on a lot in the first 3 years. I regret that to this day, 3 years later. I guess it depends on how old your kids are and how you can manage their childcare. With me, my husband did not travel much and we had childcare, but it wasn’t the logistics of things, it was missing out on some of the most important parts of a child’s life. And having only one kid, I never got the chance to experience it again. Sometimes it makes me sad that my daughter’s ok with me leaving but gets so upset when daddy has to go for a couple of days. So, it’s a very personal decision and not all of it has to do with the practical aspect.
Real talk-I have a girlfriend who jumps at any chance not to be with her kids. No judgement- it’s just not her style. You need to do an internal emotional gut check on this. Nothing comes without a cost. Double pay to be gone 50% of the time from a 5 year old is a big deal. He/she is moving into a very serious development period and having the psychological and emotional human safety anchor is critical. Now if that’s your partner or if you have a close non-judgmental family member to stand in the mommy gap, go get that money and Skype on. If you are the type to beat up on yourself if you aren’t there if your kid hits a rough patch and you can’t hold him/her or if something medical happens and you can’t get to him/her quickly you need to pass on the money for now. If you’re worth double now, the money job will come again.
Yes. You'll be able to arrange their care with the extra funds and save more for their future.
Hellz yeah!
You definitely can do it. However I had a job where I traveled that much and it really affected me. I hated not being there on random Weekdays and I also felt just extra exhausted bc I was trying to recover from travel and take care of a kid. I’ve seen many women do it successfully but I took my current job Because the travel was limited.
