[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would put physicians, biglaw, executives, some gov jobs and tech/specialty jobs as fancy.

I would not put a typical fed, doc review lawyer, anything paying less than 300 as fancy. I think most moms have not fancy mom jobs.

For men, it would be more $1m and be partners, executives, business owners, tech founders, etc. the bar for a woman is far less than a man to be a fancy job.[/quote]

I’m a physician and what worked for me was moving from being employed to being an independent contractor after my kid was 1.  I got to control my schedule 100% and work when I wanted to work.

I have been working full time since my kid was born but can do 3 12 hour shifts a week.  So I have 2 weekdays to get things done and be involved and present with my kid.  I have volunteer lots in elementary, been room parent every year, organized events at the school, etc…

It does help a lot when you have a spouse who steps up to do lots of things around the house, drives kid to activities, and helps with homework.

Most people schedule their family time around their work schedule.  I’m lucky to be able to schedule my work around my family.  [/quote]
