Speaking as the product of a family where both of my parents chose career... don't choose career.

Career. But I didn't necessarily chose it so much as I'm just single.

You can have a family and still pursue a great career. You just need to be aware that if there's ever a choice, you need to pick family.

This is funny to me... if we all chose family over career, how are we going to support the family???

I've chosen career, but that's because I have no desire to have kids.

Well I will say settle with a career with which you can support your family and keep the family coz without family career doesn't worth anything and without career we can't support family. But family always/should come first 🤤

@EY3....if you have a family, there's all kinds of things wrong with choosing career. If you want to choose career, cool, then don't be selfish enough to have a family

Find the right balance. Make enough to support your family. You need to provide the necessary lifestyle, but ultimately, time is more valuable than money. Tell me otherwise and you are just still living in an ignorant bliss.

Yes. I have and love both!

Lol ☝🏻

I don't have kids yet, so career for now. I'd like to have my first kid in three years, if everything works out. So I'd be a new senior manager and hopefully have more flexibility.

My guess is that the question is loaded and needs to be focused on either males or females. Males clearly have an easier time choosing "both" than females do.

Anyone have three kids and working in big law? I just found out I’m pregnant with no. 3 and it’s been a lot trying to juggle morning sickness, but based on my experience, I know this is only the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.

How much time do you spend alone during the weekends ? I usually don’t like being alone, so I try to plan something with my friends and feel sad if I don’t have any plans.

How do you not care / stress way too much about your job? I am a mom and stressed out most workday evenings thinking about the work / interactions during the day.
