How new of a mom are you? I mean remote with a pay increase is huge. But I do get the nerves, especially if your current firm is pretty understanding of any shortfalls in your work due to being a new mom.

I will also say that if you’re not fully remote already, being remote makes a huge difference at that age as some other people have mentioned. I used to work with my son sleeping most of the time in a playpen in my office lol. It wasn’t until he became a toddler that wfh got more difficult.

Unpopular opinion but I would not. I’ve paid my dues and like my current job (which is hybrid, 3-4 days remote), and I really don’t have the energy or capacity to start over and make a good impression at a new job right now (10 months out).

Totally a personal decision though, and you know best whether you want a change or not. (Do you like your current job? Is your team supportive? Do you have decent WFH flexibility and good work life balance? What’s important to you in a job? Do you really need the extra money or can you manage the squeeze til baby’s in school?)

Yes

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
