[quote=Anonymous]Yes, stay where you are. In addition to the flexibility and stability, it's a huge advantage to be a "known" performer during those early months when you are going to need a little slack or a little more flexibility while you figure things out. You don't want to be impressing a new boss and figuring out the daycare/pumping/whatever drill at the same time. As PP said, you have time to find a new job and kick ass at it for a few years, but if you are ready for kids now then you have a good situation now. Opportunities will find you eventually. A few years ago I told DH that my career was stalling out in my relaxed family-friendly government job and I needed to either go find a new job or decide we were having kids because this was the right job for kids. We had a baby and I got promoted during maternity leave, into a position I never thought would come open. All kinds of things can happen in the long career you have ahead of you.[/quote]
