Have any dads here taken a pay cut to stay at home more or have more time with the family? Wanting to jump ship but looking at a 15% paycut. Not asking if it’s worth it, just seeing if others have too

Took a job with <10% travel and 10% pay cut. Never missed any major thing with kid. Best decision

Yes - took a 50% pay cut to change to less travel and stay home about 12 months ago. So far it’s worth it

No

I’m jumping out of consulting to be dad more. Getting a significant raise though.

I thought I’d take a pay cut but actually earned more after a year. One door closes, another opens. I’m sure it’s due to productivity. No wasted time.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.
