[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is 830-5 significantly different than 9-5?[/quote]

My 13 month old wakes up at 7:30 and goes to bed at 7:30.  I have a 35 minute commute. So a 9-5 means I can spend almost an hour with her in the morning, most of that when she’s happy and fed, and a little less than two hours with her at night when she’s exhausted and quite honestly pretty fussy from a day of daycare. 8:30-5 just gets rid of the morning entirely. The 25 minutes I’ll get with her will be just changing her diaper, nursing her, and getting her dressed.

I have to do daycare pickup, so the latest I can stay at work is 5:15 to provide some wiggle room in case there are metro issues. Daycare closes at 6. Husband does pickup because he is at a FAANG and works past 6 most days.

Do lots of people put in these types of hours? Yes. But that’s not the job I was hired for, not the job I applied to, and not the job my life accommodates right now. I was hired at a job that would let me arrive at 9 am, leave at 4:30 pm, and finish up later at home.[/quote]
