[quote=Anonymous]I went from a corporate setting to a non-profit association with a lot more leave and a lot less travel (and a little less money). After knowing that I was happy at the non-profit (2 years in my case), I horded leave time, purchased a home with a 20 minute commute to my work and 15 minute commute to spouse's office and set up flex time arrangement during my annual review. This has worked out extremely well for us. DC will soon start elementary school and I will hit the job market after youngest is in K. I'm dreading the longer commute but looking forward to learning more and maybe even earning more too. The only thing I didn't realize is that my non-profit would not be eligible for FMLA. I believe an employer has to have more than 40 FTE to be covered. So I did not get a paid maternity leave. That said, I get so much vacation time that I used a combination of their short-term disability and paid personal time to do this.[/quote]
