[quote=Anonymous]I thought that I would stay the course afterwards and even put the Sheryl Sandberg quote about leaning into your career on my wall in my office while I was pregnant. However, since giving birth, I have started to place more value on opportunities to telecommute one day a week, leave early as needed more than upward mobility. I am also planning within the next 1-2 years to move to a position where I can work from home while staying in my field. I love working and having a career but BALANCE is what motivates me now more than ever. I still plan to move up in my career but perhaps more slowly and may delay climbs until the children are school age and really savor these young years. I also have not been nearly as engaged in industry events, speaking, and writing like I was before I gave birth to my DD. I am not sure if that will change over time but keeping up with her and my demanding job leaves no room for extra right now.[/quote]
