Sorry to hear this. have you looked into job share situations (ie you and another person share a role 50/50)? Had clients who did this and seemed to work well! Also, getting back into routine is hard! Maybe reevaluate what elements of your day to day aren’t presently working and try to trouble shoot. Do you need a house cleaner or meals cooked? For us, having the right childcare in place via daycare makes all the difference.

not a common thing but it exists!

Have you asked if part time is an option at your current job? I just moved to a part time schedule after reaching the end of my rope and quitting without another job lined up. I was surprised when they asked if I would consider staying on part time if it was the hours that were the issue. I think the realities of pandemic parenting have prompted companies to consider arrangements they may not have previously. Could be worth a try!

I returned to my job after my first and negotiated a part time role. She is 12 now. I’ve changed roles and companies but my schedule has remained. Best thing I ever did.

The Mom Project might be another route to look into.

Also worth asking about part time roles at your current company per VP1. But the one thing I’d add is to pressure test whether the role itself is actually a part time workload. Companies can be inconsistent there

Does the $20,500 pre-tax 401k contribution limit include employer match? I.e. My contribution + Employer 6% match = $20,500? I know that the combined employer/employee contribution limit is around $60k, but from my understanding that ends up being due to after tax contributions. Apologies if this has been answered before - thanks!

My friend works in-house at a national home-goods chain. Management recently told the entire design team they are barred from having portfolio websites and shouldn’t promote themselves while working for the company. They are also barred from posting work on social media, even if it’s already launched and in the public domain. This seems wholly unreasonable to me. Are demands like this common? Or enforceable?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
