[quote=Anonymous]I understand what you are saying OP with the challenges of TTC but still continuing your upward career path. I wanted to offer one thought on leaning in. I actually disagree with a lot of what Sandberg said. Before I got pregnant, I started looking for jobs that would allow me to continue upward (albeit not as steeply) with a child. So, I suppose I left-before-I-left (or however Sandberg says it). So I switched to a more family-friendly but still well-respected job before I had DD. The payoff has been HUGE because I have continued to work in my more-flexible, well-paid job far longer than I could have in the high-pressure job I was in originally. So I did not lean-in but I leaned to the side to find something that would work long term. So, in short, my advice is to think long term. If the new job is one you would want to do after a baby, then stay at it. If not, maybe look around for the best of both worlds.[/quote]
