Job has up to 80% travel PwC
How is typically life for these positions requiring travel? This is for a SWE position.
Currently work with clients is remote as stated by the recruiter. If work is currently feasible through virtual means, will there be flexibility to choose to travel for this position?
I have an offer with PWC and have a family. I would prefer to be with my family.

Umm…I would recommend taking the year off after you and your spouse have agreed. My wife did it and it was the best thing for her mentally, emotionally, and physically. The downside is feeling like you can’t keep up when you do decide to get back into the workforce. The gap shouldn’t be a deciding factor anymore; however, if recruiters or hiring managers asked: this is my personal opinion I think it’s a 🚩. You can choose to disclose why, that will be up to you! S.N: My wife did a part-time internship while she was taking a break (1-2) max a week.
Thanks for sharing!
I took 9 months off work to deal with an illness...employers always assumed it was maternity leave and the energy was PALPABLE relief once I told them no it wasn't related to pregnancy. (Not my experience at KPMG but it was the exception.) The bias still exists. You should return as soon as you physically can.

This is so sad. Like becoming a mother is the worst thing you could be?
Heck no! And if someone does then you don’t want to work for them. We will be here mama when you want to come back! Good luck
In this day and age, absolutely not. Prioritizing family is not a sign of incompetence at work. If it is red flag for anyone, screw them, you don’t need to work there. Take a break, family first, get back on your feet later. Good luck to you.
What should be and what is.
It won’t be a red flag. There is such a shortage of good talent and will persist for the next few years that when you’re ready to come back they will take you with open arms. Go ahead and do it and enjoy it.
It’s sad that we even have to think about this. I hope that any employees would not see it as a red flag.
Typo* need to get off FB and practice my typing skills
My wife had a gap of 5 yrs, got a job with a little struggle though. The level also was affected from Senior Associate to Associate.
I took 1 y off, was the best decision for myself, not for my firm though. As if I had lost a part of my brain. Just quit because I found a better job, so all in all I got to spend time with my baby and partner and I would have hated myself if I had not taking the y off just to please those old men
In short yes.
Some might. But not all. And I feel like it’s something you won’t ever regret.
Unfortunately, yes. Maybe start your own business after giving birth / once your ready to start working again whether that’s 6 months or 3 years? Then you control your destiny 💪
Yes, taking a break would impact. But I would suggest you to do some research and brush up on some skills within your area of industry/experience and stay current with latest tech trends. This way when you’re ready to go back, you will be presenting a much stronger case.
