Maternity Leave

I work for a mid tier London law firm and am currently on maternity leave returning within the next couple of months.

My strong preference would be to work on a part time basis however, I suspect that might not wash as a corporate lawyer.

I'm considering working a 5 day week (for client continuity of service) but with shorter hours so I can still pick my baby up from nursery. I would be paid for 4 days as a result.

Has anyone else tried this?

I recently took a job with a top tier investment manager, which is a step up in title and responsibilities. I went through the typical “notice” conversations with my current employer. My boss, who was a significant supporter and mentor of me during my time at my current firm, told me that he doesn’t think my new firm is “long term” for me. Anyone ever get something like this before? It threw me off because I was hoping for his support, understanding that it’s tough for him temporarily
