What did you do instead?

I’m director level in a big multinational and am good at and enjoy my job, but I am increasingly finding the unpredictability and reactiveness of it hard to deal with now I have small DC. I want to use some of my transferable skills in a role which is more predictable and that I can mostly just get on with, without always dealing with a crisis or media enquiry upon which any concept of plans or working hours go out of the window and it all gets very stressful. I don’t really want to take a pay cut, so would be looking at around £200k equivalent roles give or take.

I’ve done lots of internal comms before but I don’t find this is always much better in this regard, as an external issue is always also an internal issue.

Would love to hear from anyone who has done this.

£200k for a director role! Wow - I'm on £105k as a comms director in a FTSE-listed FS business. That salary feels very punchy to me, I'd expect to be at their beck and call for that much to be honest. Would you be open to taking a pay cut?

That’s including bonuses, car allowance etc - and yes I’d take a small cut but not lots
