I'm a 30 something, planning to start a family soon. And at this point I have 5 yrs work ex. in my current job where I climbed the ladder at a good pace and gained my reputation. My problem is that my team is toxic. A lot of my friends tell me to leave the company but I think it's not the moment as I don't want to go in maternity leave as soon as I join a company where I need to work on my reputation from scratch. Any advises here? I'm satisfied with my compensation and work life balance though.

To add to the complexity, the country I live in doesn't have good tech job opportunities. Plus I work remotely which I love! Knowing the scarcity of remote jobs in big tech concerns me. I feel I should just stretch for 2-3 years more till I settle into my new lifestyle post having a kid. Any personal experiences/ opinions out there? Should I suffer the toxic behaviour?
