My wife and I are planning on having kids soon. I’m building a new practice at a new firm. Any advice on juggling both and setting up boundaries? Do I take a week/weeks off when baby is born and just recognize probably no bonus this year? (Salary is good, I’m not desperate for money.)

I feel like my mum only ever looks for me when she wants money. Once i send it’s all good for her. I’m going through a lot being pregnant for the first time but she hardly randomly asks how I’m doing. Doesn’t even check on how preps for baby are going. PS my dad is late so she’s my best only parent.

What is the salary range for Senior Clinical Data Manager in Novartis India?

Senior AE here with just under 5 years in the industry. I’m looking to move out of selling and into a sales engineer role. My current OTE is 205k, 115k Base with 90k variable. I understand that I’ll be taking a bit of a pay cut moving into a sales engineer role. I just interviewed for a Senior Sales Engineer role and their offer is 140k base + 20% bonus ($28k) + some amount of company stock (company is pre-IPO). Does this sound in line with other companies?

If you’re offered $160k in company stock as part of your total comp package and it vests 25% annually, does that mean on your 366th day of employment a buy order gets executed for $40k of company stock at the current market price as of day 366, or does it mean a buy order gets executed at the current market price on day 1 and you have the option to sell 40k worth on day 366 and potentially realize a gain or loss depending on stock movement?

I received a job offer in industry yesterday. I want to counter asking for a sign-on bonus and a title change to make it officially a c-title (it’s the same job, just old fashioned healthcare titles). Salary was good. Any suggestions? Too much of an ask to change the title?

Dyslexia! After having our kindergartener son tested (privately) related to ADHD, we were told he may have dyslexia too (which would explain why he struggles so much with phonics but is amazing at sight words). He has a very high IQ. As a voracious reader, I am finding myself unexpectedly distraught that something that I have loved so much will be such a struggle for him, and worrying that it will affect his motivation and may steer him away from things he may otherwise love.

My spouse has made it clear to me that they no longer support me working in biglaw and want me to find a job with more reasonable hours. They were supportive early in my career and when we had one child, but our second was born a couple of years ago and all the additional work they put in at home, the lack of family time and lack of couples time is becoming a big strain on our marriage. We are in a high cost of living city so will have to undergo a major lifestyle change if we forego my biglaw..
