Hi folks,

I recently had a baby, and I’ve been finding it very hard to manage my responsibilities with the baby, my wife, and travel all at once. I have Monday-Friday travelling project. Since I’m also pushing for an M promotion this year, I’m worried that not taking on key projects or sitting on the bench might impact the decision.

Can anyone with experience help me out? How did you handle a similar situation, and do you have any advice on how I can tackle this?

I am not married but I was also dealing with same, Monday to Friday travel to client location in a Tier 2 town, waking up at 3 am on a Monday morning to catch a 7 am flight. By pass everyone and have a word with your reporting Partner, explain him the situation. I basically got myself a new project and helped the recruitment team hire a candidate who is native to the client location.

Client wants a meeting the day before the shoot to talk about the production (which we have done a few times already), so not sure if it makes sense to have a formal PPB for this meeting. Thoughts?
