Just here to say that you already are a badass mom!

Not sure if i want the job. I feel like I’m asking for trouble putting more work responsibilities on my plate when I’m also going to have more family responsibilities. I want to be the badass mom who’s a boss at work and can enjoy my family but is that actually realistic with babies this young? Am I setting myself up for a mental breakdown? Should i pump the brakes on my career and hope the opportunity is available in a few years instead ?

I’d ask what the expectation is. If you can’t be home at a decent hour and see your kids, I would wait. Your kids are only little once

Here’s what I would do: take the job/money and make my own hours. Often higher positions involve more autonomy and less stress.

Do you want the job? Do you have a supportive partner who will help out? Will the extra money allow you to have flexible childcare?

If you were already pregnant I'd say maybe pump the brakes. But you're not pregnant yet. Give it a year. See if you like it. If you're not crazy about it, figure out something else.

@OP I totally get your concerns and fears, but you can set boundaries for yourself, especially at that level. You will never know until you try it! It may be way better than you think.

Def take it. If you have to quit, you’ll have the title.

Does the new job require you to work there for a certain amount of time before you an receive maternity benefits? More money is always good. Personally I’d make the jump and once you’re there, make the schedule work.

Take it! Give it a year. It doesn’t have to be your forever job! But you can take the experience and that title with you... and you may love it and stay.

See if you can negotiate arriving and/or leaving at a certain time each day and WFH one day a week. Made all the difference for my family.

Anyone think the long hours in advertising are a turn off? Still young enough to leave the industry and make a change. Anyone see anyone do that before because of balance?

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

I do understand the case of better WLB and social benefits than the US. Hence not a direct comparison.

Anyone who understands the market willing to share their take?

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Do you think our anxiety or tension is because we have not been able to conceive?

So supposed to head out of town for a long weekend with friends starting the evening of 4/21. My one friend and her son tested positive for Covid on 4/13 and have been sick. She says she is coming on our trip. On the following Thurs 4/28 I need to spend time with my 92 year old diabetic father. Do I go on this trip? I don’t think my friend has quarantined long enough to be sitting with 6 people driving in a van to our location unmasked as well as in the hotel room. Would you go on this trip?

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college.

But is this a good idea or too risky?
