Consulting exit as freelancer / remote work? I’m EM at McK (about to be AP) with two kids. I’m considering what kind of exit opportunities I have where I can work remotely for ~3 days a week for a couple of years that will keep me busy, provide some income but also allow me to spend a lot of time with the kids. I have quite some prior experience in banking and fof PE. I’m based in Europe

Unsure if they have it in Europe but in the US most firms have reduced work schedules with reduced pay that a lot of parents do and find it helpful to balance life and spend more time with their kids.

Worst part is, dealers are sitting around and have got nasty at my sister and I when they’ve been trying to milk us.

Is this even legal? Any alternatives options are appreciated
