[quote=Anonymous]I’m a corporate/M&A lawyer who had a baby two years ago, and I’m currently pregnant with our second. I was at a big firm for 10 years, then moved in house when I got pregnant. I’m still struggling to figure out how to balance a career and motherhood, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s even possible in corporate law. My husband has an intense job that requires frequent travel and late nights, and I don’t want my kids raised by nannies. We’ve been managing (barely) so far, but I’m worried that a second kid will make the whole house of cards fall down and I’m wondering if I should start looking at an alternative career. Has anyone here made a transition to a truly parent-friendly career? I’m open to non-legal jobs and even going back to school or retraining. We’re very fortunate that money is not an issue, it’s more about personal fulfillment. I had a long maternity leave with my first and I’m certain that being a SAHM is not for me (but no judgment if you love it!). I have such a specialized career at this point that I’m a little lost as I’m trying to consider my options. I’d love any advice from others who have been in this position. [/quote]
