Want to find a new job, but seeing that most roles are moving away from remote and hybrid for most includes 4 days a week. Struggling because we've been ( my 3rd grader and I) so accustomed to me picking up and dropping off to school 2 days a week. But I'm so unhappy at my current job. Dreading this job hunt bc of how it will affect my life balance with my son 😔

I feel this. My daughter was born during the pandemic so I’ve always worked from home and can’t image that not being the way our family functions. I’m always a little worried about the return to office potential.

I can relate. I quit my job during the pandemic because i wanted flexibility and I’ve been freelancing so I can pick up and drop off my daughter (3nd grade) but it’s been hard. I would love to find a full time role but like you said most jobs are no longer remote.

Same. I have a 3rd grader. It’s so important for me to pick her up at a reasonable time and show her she’s a priority for me. Constantly anxious about RTO

If there was a role at a company outside of your industry, but was remote and offered a salary that you needed, would you take it? Or do you feel compelled in some way to stick within your current industries?

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon
