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

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Digital/digitally-savvy PMs, can I pick your brains? I’m up for a Sr. PM position at a creative agency working mainly w/tech clients. My background is more print based, especially the last couple years. When I was working in digital, it was very straightforward (mostly static/animated banners with a little bit of social). Where can I brush up on digital trends? Which agencies’ work should I check out? Any blogs worth catching up on? Thanks!

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
