Just gone back to work after my fourth(!) maternity leave.
Need to pay the bills so not working is not an option… but I am working 3 x 10 hour days and 1 x 7.5 hour day.
Great pay and a lovely team… but is it really worth sitting in work for 40 hours of my life every week?
Pre kids I wouldn’t have minded but I feel like I’m going to miss out on so much of their little lives. Reducing my hours is not an option in this role.
I have been offered another job which doesn’t pay as well and wouldn’t be as rewarding, but it’s 2 days a week remote and one 8 hour office day… probably very little room for development but my heart is craving a better work/life balance…
WWYD???
