Part time - perfect days / hours?! Help!

[Whatayear81]

Thoughts?

Same hours but different configuration. Choice is mine

Either
8.30-12.30 3 days a week plus 1 day 9-5
OR
3 days of 9-5

What would you choose?

3 days 9-5 💯

3 days of 9-5; I find that with half days it still takes over the day and if it’s an office based job then by the time you’ve got your head into something then it’s time to go home

Three days of 9-5.

Depends if you need to pick children up from school and what your commute is.

3 days 9-5
Assuming children logistics can still be handled those days

If you didn't need to do school runs then probably the 3 days

3 days easier to work around - as others say, a morning isn't quite long enough to get stuck in, people will never know when you're in or not, and you'll feel like you're constantly starting and stopping. BUT will you have childcare issues?

Child at nursery = 3 days 9-5
Child at school = 3 mornings plus a day 9-5

Depends on other factors too of course (length of commute, whether you can start work at 8.30 and still get child to school etc). But broadly speaking that's what I'd do!

Perfect
Thanks
I go for 3
