[quote=Anonymous]The field I'm in is dominated by men in the higher roles because they didn't have to take time off to have kids. It's not fair, of course, but it is what it is. Any women with positions equal to theirs are women without kids, either by choice or circumstance. I'm the anomaly because my wife is wealthy and her job is just a hobby type job, not a career like mine. She took a leave and stayed home starting at 8 weeks, so after giving birth and being off for those 8 weeks, I was able to jump right back in and didn't lose too much momentum. In fact, I gained some more respect from the men for coming back so soon instead of the 12-16 most other women took. Again, it's not fair, but that's how it is in my field. [/quote]
