[quote=Anonymous]I'd like to hear stories from working moms who, prior to kids, were quickly moving up in their career trajectory. Once you started thinking about starting a family, did you: 1 - Modify your career track? Potentially to something more "boring" yet "stable"? Or just "slow down" a bit - in other words, not be out there interviewing for the next best thing or pushing for a promo, since you knew both would come with increased hours/travel? OR 2 - Stay the course? Take on more stressful positions with greater responsibility to advance your career? Go into it with the mindset that you'd "cross that bridge when you got there", even though potentially facing no FMLA security, etc? Pursue potentially high risk/high reward opportunities? Interested to hear what others' experiences have been. [/quote]
