I am thinking about going back to an agency which I thought I would never do after becoming a mom. I feel like the work life balance with my new responsibilities may be really challenging. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Really depends on the team you’re with. Could be heaven or hell. Give it a go and ask the really tough questions when you interview.

I have been in agency with kids for 8 years now and I have always had a good WLB. You just have to be really clear in interviews that that’s something you’re looking for and make sure you ask your future boss the right questions to make sure that will be possible without continuous fighting.

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?
