I really want a flexible job that is hybrid or remote so I can enjoy my only child growing up. What companies or roles support flexibility for families but also pay well? I have asked this before so please make actual recommendations, don’t ask me what I’m hoping to do or my “dream job” etc. No offense to “life coaches” but I always get one response from someone switching the question around on me and I’m really just hoping to get direct suggestions. Thank you!

I work at Wayfair and I’m in one of the few departments that is remote. I am a Construction Design Manager that project manages architectural projects for their warehouse facilities. A Project Manager role requires a lot of collaborating and networking, but not in person. You will find these type of jobs are usually remote because you make lots of phone calls and send a lot of emails. Some travel may be required, depending on the role. It does pay well and I have a lot of flexibility in my job. I have 2 young boys, so I understand how much flexibility is important. Getting PMP certified is a great start to looking for jobs like these.

I work from home full time, my daughter is school-aged. I have the luxury of driving her to school every day and picking her up. however I do not get to spend as much time with her as I would like to due to the nature of my career. There are perks, we get lunches together!

If you think a position can reasonably be done remotely/mostly remotely even if not advertised as such, I recommend still applying and asking the recruiter/HR/hiring person if you can be remote. I have done this at several companies over the years and most have accommodated. I have also asked for flexible schedules, which companies seem especially open to post-Covid.

Hi there! What I do is definitely all work from home. I own a financial services agency. We do everything related to $$ and financial planning. Retirement, investments, college funds, etc! And income potential is unlimited. We have a lot of parents with little ones, even single parents with babies who do soooo well in this business and get to spend the time they want with their kids. It's honestly the best opportunity for those who want to be with their babies and watch all their milestones, and be successful in business to make sure they have what's best for their children. If you or anyone else is interested in getting more information about this opportunity, leave a comment or message me!

When I was searching I looked for “best remote first companies”. I applied to one and got it and love it. I am sad I wasted so much time in my toxic job before and the time wasted commuted all my life is just insane. My kids are home with me over the summer (very independent ages) and I plan an hour to two hours a day to hang with them if I can. I start my day earlier, too, so I can fit it in. I highly recommend it for any working mom if you can

How do you define flexible?

Set your own hours? I.e. solo work that you do at your own pace with no teamwork?

Or roles/companies that aren’t strictly 9-5.

Keep in mind, aside from working for yourself, the vast majority of roles/companies out there have some level of expectation for performance and availability - including an expectation that you have childcare while working.

My problem is that my output with pumping is really low, even when I replace a feed. Tried three pumps and yes I’ve measured myself! So I have to pump a few times just to make one bottle.

It's hybrid but there's flexibility.

Do a LinkedIn job search for companies that fit the bill and check the “remote” option where it says, remote, in person or hybrid (top right). Then set that search for alerts so you get a daily feed of jobs that match and are definitely remote.

What pay range are you after? That might help people give suggestions more specific

How do you manage going back into public accounting as a first time mom?

He is not in accounting and works ~35 hr weeks while I’ve been at 50-70 hr weeks (and enjoy my work). He is worried about my ability to be there for mom duties and also fully commit to work so curious on how other working moms have managed this - especially type A personalities. Thanks!
