I’m not sure what it is, but it came home from pre-school, and I love it. But it underpins a deeper internal struggle: consulting, travel, single income, and being “dad” vs. “novel.” Thoughts?

That's why I moved to industry. 9-5, making 20% more, and home with the kids almost as much as I want. Consulting was great and opened doors, but it wasn't a long term, family friendly career choice

What kind of place did you end up / role?

No right answer but the answer that you choose. I was at home with kids. Kids loved it. I was miserable and it showed at home. Now I am on road. Kids hate it but I love my work and it shows at home. I wrestle with this constantly

Wrestled with it for a long time , and decided to take a break from travel and joined a local (equally challenging gig)....work the same crazy hours ...but being home everyday with my kid is priceless ...no right answers but for now this is for me :)

Same. Did an internal tour for a year which had pros/cons. Definitely saw that the light at the end of the tunnel was dark in IFS. The firm is definitely oriented around the client facing heart beat of the company. What role/area of industry did you find?

I'm done with this app. People are talking about that parents don't have the right to know if their kid wants to be called by a different pronoun and keeping things from parents. Makes me sick. I told them they're all fucked in the head. So I'll be booted soon. Good knowing some of you. Peace.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

Moving to London in June for a permanent role. What's a good area to live in, friends? Looking for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom place ideally.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
