At 7 am I wake my kids up and get them ready for daycare at about 8:30, then I’m in the car to the office, at the office by 9…

At 5:30 pm I’m having dinner with my kids
At 7:30 pm I’m on the floor with my kids reading books
If I need to jump on from 10 to midnight or even 1 (rare), I will.

It’s all about figuring out a schedule that works for you as you get more senior.

May not be as common but still used, I.e Centerview, Perella Weinberg, etc.

Honestly, as a VP/MD, work-life balance can be tough to maintain with all the responsibilities, but it does get more manageable with time. You learn to set boundaries, delegate more, and prioritize. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely possible to find a healthier balance if you work hard at it.

You get more flexibility. I’ve found that I need to be much more plugged in (you are go-to contact for clients), but more of my work can be done from my phone

Anyone else the last to be informed about ANYTHING at their site? I am only a second year SPED teacher and my eyes are already wide open to the fact that admin and Gen Ed teachers so often fail to inform me about important things regarding the grade levels I teach and other school events. Then I’m left scrambling to inform my students and parents of essential information, and I’m embarrassed! My aides also look at me like why don’t you know this? Aggravating.
