[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three and took promotions before my first and after each of my first two. I would echo what has been said about the need to work hard and being under a microscope. There are a lot of stereotypes of pregnant women and working moms that can undermine your credibility before you do anything so you may find that you are on the receiving end of resentment if you get a promotion and then need to step away.

It’s doable but specific to each person’s circumstances. Would you tell your potential new boss during the interview process? Would your husband be willing to step up and support you after you went back to work? Are you ok knowing your job would take you away from your baby when they are young? Do you want to nurse/pump?

Frequent travel with a baby will be hard on you, your child, your husband…pumping on business trips is difficult and you can be made to feel unprofessional for needing to step out to pump. A manager who promotes you may be resentful if you were pregnant and didn’t share that with them. Direct reports could feel resentful about needing to step up and cover for a new manager on maternity leave…[/quote]

Executive women are not your friend. Marianne Lake the highest ranked woman at Chase took two weeks maternity leave each kid. Used a sperm donor no husband and hired a live in to basically raise kids. But she is always preaching work life balance and for working moms.

My current job three highest women. One husband lesser job one kid, second one no husband no kids, third divorced two kids. But all three preach pro family.

And my job the five highest men 3 are divorced. [/quote]
