I’ve been asked to re-join B4 consulting as a Director with partner track in 2-4 years. (Starting as income partner-no direct equity in Canada). I currently make $200K TC at a great company, incredible WLB and WFH.
I’m asking moms who are partners- how has your experience been? I’m planning to have kids in 2-4 years as well and want to get insights on WLB/stability vs career growth/passion/job satisfaction as a new mom. My partner has a demanding high paying job so we’re not hurting for money
