Did you expect to have a career? Or did you always plan on being a stay at home mom but end up working anyway? I’m in the latter group, but I’m learning to accept it.

I always planned on working. Having kids never really appealed to me, at least not when I was younger. I'm more open to the idea now, but if it does happen, I don't think I'll ever be a SAHM. I have all the respect in the world for the women who do it, but my career means a lot to me and I don't want to give it up.

I completely agree. Mad respect for women who choose it, but I think I see myself always doing some sort of work

I grew up without a lot of direction and am honestly just proud of how far I've come and where I'm currently at. I guess you can say I grew up without any expectations lol. As much as I would love to find someone, settle down, and be a stay-at-home mom, I know I can't rely on anyone else making that my reality.

I was always directed at having a career. If the situation came about where having kids made sense, that would be great. Up to now I haven't been involved with anyone that would inspire that type of commitment, so focusing on my career works fine for now.

Yes always planned on having a career. I did take some time off when I had my children but it just confirmed I’m not bout to be a SAHM 🤣

I was really dreading it but actually it was easier than I expected.

I was downsized by this company 6 years ago and had worked for them for 8 years prior. I am now in talks with them about another oppertunity but they do not want to let me start back with those 8 years. I looked up standard practice and according to the standards at the Society of Human Resources Management HR should give me my time back cause I was downsized (not fired for cause and I did not quit). What should I do?

Career dev advice needed. Being offered a promotion (would be reporting to my current skip and managing/growing a team). The role is global subsidiary management/governance. But the work does not appeal to me, I’ve been doing some of it and it’s so much admin and people management. I’m not practicing law at all. Love my current IC role and manager, get to work on strategic transactions and closer to the business. If my goal is head of corp legal one day, should I suck it up and go for it? Thnx!
