At a crossroads of whether to leave a comfortable job where I’m nearly fully remote/hybrid for a more challenging role that pays a significant amount more but is mostly in the office. Have a 2 year old that I love taking to daycare and gonna miss that so much. But also feeling the pressure to maximize my earning potential as I approach my mid 40s. What would you do???

I would go for it… as long as you get the vibe that people are supportive of occasional work/life conflicts in the new role. I will say that, for me, the school age juggle gets harder than daycare. I’m constantly managing against schedules with before / after care or after school sitters, summer/camp, school holidays/days off, etc. So if you jump into this new opportunity, make sure to set up a safety net, financially and with your support structure to get all the childcare for when you need it.

Why can’t you drop your kid and then go to the office? Even if just some days

Hey guys,

I see companies (smaller and larger) that potentially can give me that but would it be worth it? I’m having a hard time finding out what opportunities/paths I can take and what amount of $ would be worth moving jobs for. Any insight is appreciated!

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
