I can’t speak for your financial situation but if you can avoid it, just spend as much time as possible with your kid (and partner) because you’ll never get it again.

I picked up a well-paying freelance producer job while I was on leave. It helped alleviate some of the financial stress for sure and made me feel a little more sane. The hardest part was finding time to pump.

Depending on your skill set you could try some remote design work or consulting.

First of all OP. What is it that you can do? “Manager” doesn’t really give us anything to go off of.

Paid leave?

The first few months are draining. Be ready to work in a zombie state.

Technically if it's paid leave can't you get in trouble for double dipping? Or not paid leave? I don't care either way, just be careful of that is all. Good luck!

Typically a paid leave is basically short term disability. Therefore it would be illegal to work. If it’s unpaid I would look into your state laws regarding the topic.

You don’t have to take leave. If you want to want to work just come back early.

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...

How do digital nomads work from anywhere? After two years of this whole WFH thing, I realize that I need a proper routine, an actual WFH setup with a second monitor, a ring light, a suitable desk, an ergonomic chair, stationery, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love the flexibility of remote work, and I'm not sure I will ever go back to 5 days a week in an office (or even one day a week, for that matter.) But, how do digital nomads adapt by packing up and going so frequently between places?

So I just moved states. I’m staying with a parent for a while in a pretty large house and my cat keeps hiding for hours on end (I think to snooze). Any thoughts? She’s spent time with me and I walked around with her while she explores. And she’s ventured solo. Seemed she’s warming up well. Except this again. I admit it’s giving me horrible anxiety that she won’t respond at all until I locate her because even I’m learning where things are and want her to be safe. This is the third time 😭
