[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will your billable target be? I’m not at a firm, but friends who are at firms are all back in the office a few days a week. No one is there every day unless they want to be. If you will be working a 40-50 hour week, that seems doable and is what many dual income households do. Sounds like a good way to get your foot back in the door at a pretty high level. Is DH on board and willing to take on more of the child-related work while you ramp up and adjust back to working? What you don’t want to do is take the job and not be able to perform at the expected level.[/quote]

Billable target will be about 1400 hours. I *think* I can do this in 40-50 hours per week. There will be slower weeks and busier weeks because that's just the nature of the work, and I'll have to do my best to be very efficient busy weeks and rely on DH to pick up more. And during slower weeks I'll have to take advantage and pickup slack on personal things when I can. Yes - DH is an engaged parent and involved in the housework. He has a more regular schedule, so I can rely on him. The exception will be that he travels sometimes. We may need ask my parents to come from out of town and stay with us during those times, which I think they'll usually be able to do.[/quote]
