@Digitas - did you feel that it hurt your career at all, or was it pretty easy to transition back without falling too far behind? Currently contemplating a part time gig and curious about that part (although precious time with the kiddos is likely worth it regardless!)

Yes. I worked part time (20 hrs/wk) for 1.5 years. One full day in the office and 3 days 8am-12pm from home. It was the best.

I went from FT to freelance. It was amazing, until my husband lost his job. Now it’s stressful only cause we need benefits. I would not hesitate to do it again. Your child grows so fast. Money comes and goes, kids grow up and you never get that time back.

I work one day from home, one day off.

I used to do 4 days a week

@Digitas, was this at an agency? Was part-time the role or was this something you negotiated? (And was this in the US?)

Just received H4 EAD for my wife. Any suggestions around business ideas? or remote work opportunities? Please share any personal experiences, good ideas.

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.

How do you handle remote teams being in different time zones? Right now we have a ton of team leaders on the west coast with the core team on the east coast and because of that urgent requests keep coming down after hours with the expectation to address it immediately. So at this point we’re working from 8am until like 11pm and nobody knows what to do to push back on it
