Hi mamas! I just had my first baby 8 weeks ago and I’m looking for some ideas on making a career pivot. I’ve been working in HR Technology for 10+ years now but the role and the management team have been less than desirable in the last two years. I wanted to make the change sooner but with FMLA benefit eligibility rules I was forced to wait. My question is what type of roles offer flexibility (e.g., WFH) and decent pay ($80k-100k) without having to devote time to going back to school?

So I’m curious … you say career pivot but your “why” for that is a bad current management team. Why not take your applicable skills and get a role at a different company?)
