Coming back from maternity leave has been more challenging than I expected. Balancing new motherhood and a demanding finance career feels overwhelming. Any tips from those who’ve been there?

Be honest with your manager with what your needs are and how you are feeling. And make it clear that it’s related to your post partum recovery. Keep your doctors in the loop in the event you need any documentation for HR.

I haven't experience that yet. But all power and good wishes to you girl 🥰

Limit yourself to 9-5 or whatever your official working hours are.

Awe I remember that feeling well. It was so hard for me to balance being a new mom and also getting all my work done. You will get the hang of it OP. It does take some time but give yourself grace and know that you will eventually be able to balance it all.

First of all, I love that this is a group. This is why I joined this app. Thank you. But I’d love advice on how/were to transition away from banking and finance. Bachelor degree in agriculture, National guardsmen, seeking $75k/yr, ideally remote. I feel stuck and lost because I took a leap of faith to get into banking with no experience and now I have no relative experience in another field/industry to get me out.

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

Any advice on a first year trying to transition from family law to in-house? I always thought family law was my path, and used to enjoy it, but it’s not the direction I want to head in anymore.

I’m having a hard time finding firms that are hiring entry level associate positions that don’t require at least 3+ years experience in-house. Should I start at a business law firm to get experience working with corporations first?
