What service line are you and how many years of experience?
Ask for a 1/2 time role and 75% remote work. You will save on daycare, dining out, and commute costs. You will be in a lower tax bracket. There will be no resume gap. All they can do is say “no”, which would be your sign to find another role. I did this to be available to my kids and only worked school hours. I am not a partner, and my salary is probably a bit low. However the trade off was worth it to me. Some weeks I work more than 1/2 and some weeks I work less. I have to be diligent or they will overwork me for sure.
This! I've been on a reduced schedule for over 10 years. I 100% would not still be in public accounting as a mom without my reduced schedule. (I know it works for some, but not me.) I've done as low as 60% and am currently at 80%. Yes, my salary is reduced to the same %, but I otherwise enjoy my career and have tons of flexibility.
