Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

I don’t excel in both roles... I am still figuring out the balance. I just give my kids as much love and attention as possible even when I forget to pack extra clothes or drop them off late.
It is such a tough balance and at times it feels as though you’re not excelling in either. So it comes down to prioritizing. I’ve seen it helps (although this may sound ridiculous) to think of your baby as another client- a very needy one -and you’ll know how to prioritize your work instantly. It’s often the spouses who are most neglected, after the house. But as long as they understand and are helpful in co-parenting (taking them for their shots because you had an urgent/ important meeting come up, or a deadline etc), life is good for the next 10 years or so. Basically, parenting (as a mom) and agency life is not a good fit, as I’ve experienced.
I have to check in with myself constantly. We have careers not jobs which means there is no real end day for us. We have to be involved all the time. But being a mom is also a full time job. I have decided to make no deals for myself. My son’s time is his time and work has its time. When those lines blur I start failing at both. I also have a home office so once I get my son to bed I can go back to work and jump back into where I left off. Honestly, my career has changed since being a mom. Some see me less available and some feel me more committed and balanced. At the end of the day, my son will always win and if I don’t get that move up in my career cause I decided tucking him at night or nursing him back to health was more important so be it. He is what matters and I am learning to forgive myself for not being the lion all the time at work. Good luck! We are rooting for you!
Not sure if excelling is a word I’d use but I learned I have to speak up and demand the flexibility or trade offs I need. No one will volunteer you should be leaving to get Home etc. however I’ve found goodWork still commands respect.
