[quote=Anonymous]I have passed up on some great work opportunities precisely because they don't offer the flexibility of my current job.  I don't feel as challenged as I would like to be in my current job and I would love to make a change, but I have decided that the flexibility and built up capital in my job substantially outweigh my desire to pursue my dream job for now.  My kids are almost 4 and 6 so I'm 2 years ahead of you, and I have found that the need for flexibility has become so much more important as my kids get older.  I am able to volunteer and attend activities at their schools, take them to the doctor, and get great quality time with them in the evenings.  And believe me, your kids start to notice when you are the only or one of a handful of parents who are not present for school functions.  It's such a personal decision, but I always think about what would I regret more:  turning down a job when there will undoubtedly be more opportunities in the future or missing that extra quality time with my kids during this finite period when they actually want to spend time with you.  Best of luck in your decision. [/quote]
