[quote=Anonymous]I currently have a decent job.  Very flexible hours working 9 to 5 making a decent salary ($125k).  Short commute.  I am also able to telecommute one day a week and as needed when kids are sick.  The job is boring and not challenging at all and has very little growth potential.  It works well though since my kids are 2 and 4 years old.

I received a job offer for a position that I am very excited about.  It's a small company doing very well and growing very fast.  Salary is much higher, plus the company will probably go public in a couple of years so their is the potential to make a lot of money.  The job is exactly what I want to do and I really liked the people I interviewed with.  It's a perfect fot for my skillset.  Also, it's not too far from home so about a 30 min or less commute.

The problem is that I'm not sure how family friendly the job will be.  I've worked it out with DH that we can alternate drop-off and pickup so that I can work late a couple of nights a week.  He is completely supportive.  MIL lives nearby and will help out as needed as well.

I get the feeling that most of the people working their are single and do not have children and tend to work late.  How do I broach this subject with my potential employer?  Clearly this something I need to know prior to accepting the position.  How do you discuss something like this after having received a job offer.  What should I say?  What questions should I ask?[/quote]
