Do you feel like your job has caused you to be behind on certain things like caregiving or being a more active/present mother? I certainly do and it's a difficult feeling to process. My kids are way more attached to their dad, and while I'm not jealous in any way of that, it hurts to think I'm missing out on some of the most precious things in life because of how busy I am. Anyone else in this boat with me? What are you doing to feel better?

Don't want to sound rude but rather than seeing your job as a hinderance to these things that you care for, see it as a means to provide for your family and model strong work ethics for your kids. If you're busier than dad, BIG DEAL. It’s about making the moments that you do have count—like being fully present during family dinners or engaging in activities that foster connection.

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

Hey all newbie here. My husband and I are living that Double Income No Kid life wanting to (Financial Independence) Retire Early.

Thanks a bunch!
