Hi full time working moms, ISO advice. For those of you who commute about 1hr each way, how do you manage childcare hrs to accommodate your working hrs? Do you leave early to pick up your kids? How does your mgmt respond to these types of adjustments?

I’m struggling with expectations w/ my company’s sr leadership & trying to understand whether my boundaries are fair or not. TYIA!

When I had young kids, my husband went into work late so I could go in earlier, and I had a hard stop at 5:30 or six to get home by seven

Leave early or come in late

like

I started early when my partner was on drop off. Then did pickup around 4/4:30. Then we’d switch every few weeks and I’d dropoff early so that I could get to work around 9 and would stay as late a 5:30 pm. I ensured my work was done before leaving for the day when I left before 5 and anytime I could stay later (and still make it home for dinner with the fam) I did.

Manager never had anything to say about it.

My partner and I split pickup/drop off duties.

I do morning drop off literally when the doors of daycare open at 7a, which gets me to my office by ~830a. He leaves work “early” (430p) to make a 530p daycare pickup. I still usually leave my office around 4p, but I work during my commute home.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

Hi

I resigned Epam Anywhere last week because I am on bench since 2.5 month , package in EPAM Anywhere was 32.40 lpa fixed .

Started looking outside and got opportunities.

Two offers:

Citi bank- 3277000 fixed

Mastercard- 308000(including 2.80lakhs variable)

I am really confused between these two companies, I heard WLB is very good in Mastercard, but again their salary difference is too much.

Kindly suggest its Urgent.
