[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does suck but yes, 8am meetings are not uncommon.  It’s a double whammy in that while you’re building a career and have young kids, the kids need you at the same time as the meeting.  Once you make senior level, you can reschedule 8ams if they don’t work for you.  Of course by then your kids don’t need you either so it becomes a moot point.[/quote]

I think this is a misconception. At my firm 2/3rds of the senior team has kids. I did notice most of them had them later in life and were already a VP before kids. The other 1/3 has no kids.

You really only have from 22-36 to move up quickly. Kids get in the way.

Also some women retire young. Graduate great school then start job bank,   Wall Street or Big 4 work their butt off do part time MBA and start kids around 36 by 43 done kids and pretty much retire. I worked with women who made a few million by 40.

The women who make it really big the husband retires. My current boss did this and she told her husband to retire at 45 to watch kids when she made CEO. She had kids at 39 and 42.

If both make it big well hire full time Nannie’s.

My other old boss made 10 million a year has a stay at home husband too.

Mary Bara CEO GM also has a stay at home husband.

My own sister had a stay at home husband for 12 years. She was breadwinner so he quit his bs job
