Hi Fishers,
I am a Product Owner with 6 yoe and a mother of newly born. My current package is 12lpa and average 11-12 hrs working with work from office for 7-8 hrs, remaining calls/work from home. In such scenario taking care of the baby has become very challenging.
I have been considering job switch for a while but have lots of doubt in my mind. Will a new mother be hired? Working 12 hrs will only ensure good package? If i insist on work life balance, will it affect the package? Thoughts plz

This might sound like a crazy question but never having worked in public before: Billable hours - if you’re very efficient at your job, do you stretch out the time and work slower to get to your billable hours or do you safe the client the money. In a Situation where you don’t have other projects to work on. Tell me the ins and outs of working billable hours for a complete newbie.

Is anyone able to change the project if you don't like within 6 months..?
Has anyone tried changing it..? what was the response..?

How do you folks describe your deals in resume/ interviews/ LinkedIn while stopping short of naming client/target? If you describe the acquirer and target, it’s pretty easily traced to the exact deal.

Client's budget is around $300K and would like an apartment on the East Coast / New England. Thoughts on if this is realistic?

Hi All, I have been married for 3 yrs now to a guy I dated for 5 years . The dating years were good but things are not too great now. So I have multiple issues with him and we have been having too many altercations these days . Firstly , the frequency of sex is almost 0 or maybe once a month sometimes not even that . Secondly , I think he just doesn’t split the household work equally . It’s like taking care of a baby . I have had multiple conversations with him about this he does some work

Any thoughts on Sidley's London office? How sharp elbowed are the associates and how much do partners genuinely try and help you develop a career? Bonus points if you can provide insight on how the corporate and finance departments work with specialists on transactional matters. As a final ask, are they genuinely into D&I and flexible working efforts or is this predominantly lip service? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I will begin my 20th year of teaching in 4 weeks. I have 2 boys, a 16 year old and an 8 year old. I look forward to what we can share as teachers and moms.

Hello! I am a mom of 3 kids: 17,13, and 7. So I’ve got one in high school, middle, and elementary. Lol! This is my 18th year teaching, with most years in M.S. but last 4 in Elementary.

This will be yr 8 for me and I have a 7yr old and a 4yr old. The afterschool activities have increased which makes it sooooo much harder!! Everyday is a new BUSY adventure!!!

4th yr Teacher - I had my little one in Nov of ‘18, and I’ve been at home with him ever since. I report in 3 days to a new school in a new district! I’m already having separation anxiety! Any tips?!

18 year veteran sped teacher; mom to 5yo with SPD, ADHD, and anxiety...I feel like I’m never “off duty,” and tbh—I’m losing my grip a bit.

Hi! I'm a mom of 2 boys, 13 and 8. I have been teaching 12 years. I have been very lucky to teach in 2 districts that were supportive of having a family. We can leave to attend class functions.

Found out our bell times are moving up by an h o u r this year!! I have a 2nd and 5th grader in a different school whose bell times are 1.5 hours later than mine. I’m feeling anxious and it’s July!

Okay teacher moms.. what are you looking forward to most about summer?

I'm new to fishbowl! I just finished my 13th year of teaching. I teach k-5 fine arts and gifted and talented. I have 5 year old twins and 3 year old twins. I'm excited to connect with other ed moms!

Hi! Mom of a 2 year old and I’ve just completed year 16!

Just finishing my 18th year teaching. I have a 16 yo, a 15 yo, and a 11 yo. Teens and teaching can make for a long day, but I am so grateful to be teaching in my kids school (its a K-12 building)

Hi, I'm new to Fishbowl. I just finished my 23rd year of teaching. I have a 17, 14, and 10 year old. I'm looking forward to be a part of the working teaching moms community.

My son is acting up at school and I have no idea what to do

Any other pumping moms out there? I BF at home but pump at work. It’s my second time but it sure isn’t easier

Hi! I just finished my 15th year teaching last week. I have a 16 year old and an 8 year old! Glad to be among other EdMoms!

Just curious... In the summer, do you let your teenager stay up as late as they want and sleep in as long as they want? What time limits do you set??

Hey awesome mamas! What are your plans for when you have to go back to work but your kids are staying home either doing distance-learning or the hybrid model? My three are all in middle school and high school doing the hybrid and are home by themselves Monday -Wednesday. Even though they’re old enough to be home by themselves I still don’t quite trust that they’re on task- especially my 6th grader. Also worried about having to help them with a lot of homework after I get home from work. Ideas?

This will be my son’s kindergarten year and he is coming to my school. So he’ll be with me before and after school. I teach deaf ed so have meeting and many things to do before and after. Any tips?

I will start my 23rd year this fall with all 3 of my children (16 yo daughter/12 yo twin boys) in the same building as me. What an adventure awaits.
