Returned to work after my first two months ago. Need to start making more money and know I’ll get the biggest pay bump by moving. But my agency has really good hours and work life balance and ...

I was stuck in the mindset at my last agency that I had too good of a work life balance to leave after having my first. I realized how wrong I was. You can have that somewhere else, too! Just make sure you screen potential employers for WL balance to find the right fit. Go for it! And good luck!

I generally always leave by 5. This is valuable while I have a young baby. Been thinking maybe I should push to become senior over next couple years and then try to move to maximize my pay increase. But maybe it’s easier to move as a mid level? Don’t want to get stuck. Like where I work but need to start making more, and the work isn’t always very cool. Of course in two more years I could be looking to have another baby I guess, andbe back in the same spot? 🤦‍♀️

Start looking for a job now because it may take you a while to find the balance you want. My agency is amazing at balance but terrible at pay. However I’ve been looking for 6+ months and haven’t found anywhere willing to meet me halfway. I even had an offer all but rescinded when I asked for flexibility

Good points. Doesn’t hurt to just start looking now.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
