Im a dad and can understand where youre coming from:

I family over the firm and stepped away from consulting years ago after the birth of my second child. I couldnt imagine being on the road and missing out on my kids early years.

I took an Enterprise PMO job at a mid-size corporation and job-hopped a few times to boost my income.

I kept my core skills up through training, seminars, and earning a few certifications, and returned to Big4 consulting when my oldest was in college and youngest was in High School.

Congratulations on your new baby and good luck in your journey; whatever path you choose!

When you returned to Big 4, did you have to do interviews? If yes, were there case interviews or more of behavior interviews?

Your question is self-answering.
You identify as a mother not a provider. Equal does not mean same.

I’m 21. Maybe I just got lucky, but working in Apple retail was an incredible experience. I was only there for 7 months, but it was enough time to know it’s a place filled with love and laughter. Walking in other Apple Store’s I can feel the energy and I genuinely believe my store was unique. Managers cared and coworkers were connected. I’m going to miss talking about Apple with people, but definitely not helping indecisive assholes try on 30 different Apple Watch bands; they can suck my balls.
