Currently even if I work “remote” certain weeks, given the amount of hours I end up working, I’m only at home physically but not mentally. I think the only way to change that is to switch to industry at some point but I don’t want to take a pay cut or settle for a lower position than Director.

don’t know about best time. I’ve been a Director in industry and it is ALL about relationships at that level. You most likely have the relationships you’ve built over time with some now VPs (you will need exec support to pull you in and up). Reach out to to your contacts and see what’s open or what they may be willing to create for you.

I don’t think there is a best time. Find a director role you want and go after it. You might even know someone via your LinkedIn network or another colleague that can help you get your foot in

My partner and I planned a trip with all of his friends and their wives before I knew I was pregnant. We will be going and I’m 8 weeks pregnant. I considered not going because I feel like without them all knowing I’m pregnant they’re going to think I’m super lame. We decided the best thing to do is just tell his friends (although a bit earlier than ideal) and then take the pressure off me to show up in any way that doesn’t feel good for me. I don’t even know what my question is…..
