I’m a manager with two young kids considering a Chief of Staff role. For moms who’ve done it, was it worth it or did it take over your life? Be honest.

You only have young kids once. There will be more opportunities to continue to climb the ladder as they get older.

Any demanding job will drain your energy and you'll have less for yourself and your kids. That's just the honest truth.

Interested in this perspective too. Kids are 10 and 7 and worried I’ll either not have the energy or not have the bullsh*t tolerance

If the money is sufficient hire the help you need for the tasks that you can delegate and focus ur energy on the quality time with your kids. In other words tasks that drain your energy and test your patience (helping with homework, cleaning up, drop off and picks up, etc) and make your tasks better meals together, outings, supporting at sports games, etc). The end result is you may be making more but saving less and you would still have hiven yourself the career you want but in the long run once kids are grown you will thank yourself for it.

I am in a CoS role and have hard boundaries to keep family time protected and make it a priority to show up for my kids at school events. That being said I probably pick up work a couple nights a week after the kids go to bed. There are occasional weeks when it is fully draining especially in high conflict / stakeholder mgmt situations. My spouse is very supportive and we have a full time nanny who handles a lot around the house.

My position is mostly in person which is my preference. $400+ TC

Do you have an offer you are considering? If so, can you share details on role, type of company, comp and whether remote or in person?

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology.

Thank you so much!!

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
