This sounds impossible.
That model is unsustainable at best, if you have family to help that would be great, else , forget the travel, just the stress of managing a newborn and the crazy work schedules leads to a lot of bad blood
Impossible. My husband left consulting.
I think pretty hard. Lucky for me my husband left consulting (gladly and due to his own decision) to take a Corp strategy role with rare travel. Would have been near impossible otherwise and honestly would have sucked for our kids. They like time with mom and dad
Impossible. I reduced after baby #1 by not traveling anymore and am preg with #2. I’m leaving consulting after mat leave...too much stress with both parents having demanding jobs.
I thought so too. Both husband and I travel, and I am about to return after my second maternity leave to probably a still traveling role. It’s possible but it will cost you $$ (we pay about $3600 in childcare for two kids a month) and we have family helping with overnights when both of us are out of town
my friends have a night nanny on retainer to manage this.
Maybe possible if you have:
- 2 full time nannies or aupairs + daycare
- Family nearby
- Control over your staffing and client
Some firms will fly your baby AND a caregiver with you if your spouse is also traveling that night(s).
thanks everyone for the perspectives
Not impossible but hard. We take turns traveling but have very supportive teams. Consulting provides us with a flexibility that a regular job would not.
