[quote=Anonymous]OP - I should add that our current jobs are not in Philly. We are working primarily remotely for NYC firms. This has been fine up until parental leave. However, we expect that we'll need to make more trips into the office for in-person meetings and events when we return from leave, and it just seems like too much with an infant at home. So we're at a decision point - do we look for jobs in Philly, or do we look for jobs elsewhere? We do not want to return to NYC, but staying in Philly will likely mean shifting the focus of our practices to areas that we are not interested in. (We both currently do a lot of investigations/white collar work, and there just doesn't seem to be much of that here.)

One of us does not want to return to big law for long (if at all) after leave, while the other is open to sticking it out for a few more years. If we decide to leave Philly, the spouse who wants to leave big law would begin looking for agency jobs, and we'd make the move if/when something works out. The spouse who is open to a few more years of big law would transfer to the DC office of their current firm and would take their time looking for something more family-friendly. [/quote]
