I work at a Financial Institution and have recently been approached about a Director role with my prior company. It’s a great opportunity but I have 2 young kids (Preschool/Elementary ages) and I don’t want to sacrifice time with them for career advancement. I would love to hear from working moms in senior leadership roles to understand if it’s possible to balance both, or is it best to wait a few more years? Not happy currently and looking to move, but unsure of pursuing lateral vs. a promotion

I’m the CCO and I hired for a director of compliance role with oversight of the compliance department and hired her part time (30 hrs.) She is a rock star and I’m willing to be flexible for the right person. She wanted time with her baby and she gives 100% at the office and we are 2 days wfh each week. I think you can find some place that will provide flexibility.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve met with the recruiter and am awaiting the first interview so we will see how it goes.

Ladies who use the steamer bags for cleaning pumps… what’s your process? You have to still clean with soap and water beforehand? The bag is so hot you need to use mittens?

Both of these seem to defeat the purpose of having less steps imo. And how do you dry them? I’m used to just soaking in a soapy tub, scrubbing, then hang drying at home. Sigh.
