[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly if a women not so hard. Perfectly understandable. I know two C level women in DC area who took off a few years when kids were younger. The senior men doing hiring respect it. [/quote]

Kinda gross. But at same time senior women will hold it against you.

I assume those C level women had a special hook (most do anyways, many dumb men advance same way)[/quote]

I worked with Sally Kercheck who was CFO of Citi, Marianne Lake who was CFO of Chase. They had kids.

I like former CFO Leman she retired at 35 as CFO Lehman brothers a few months before market crash to be a full time  mom.

Follow Sally Kercheck on LinkedIn great advice for moms with careers.

Marianne Lake is quite impressive and has seemed to leverage the opportunity she got as the redemption choice after the London whale scandal into an amazing rise in prominence.

But she never took a break, really. She is 49 and in line for Dimons job, and had her first kid at 42.

She has never married, only had kids 7 years ago... so I’m guessing her breaks were on the order of a FMLA 3 month leave...

‘Lake had her three children through a surrogate starting at the age of 42 after she decided that, even without a partner, she wanted to be a parent. She said she realized after she became CFO that her story could inspire other career-driven women at the bank and she tells it frequently. One junior colleague described Lake’s parenting decision as “fearless.”’[/quote]
