[quote=Anonymous]The choice to leave entirely or stay working full time is binary, yes, but there's also quite a range of employment options. These include freelancing, contracting, part-time, working full time but somewhere with generous leave and flexibility, etc... I think you'll find a lot between 0-50 hours/week of paid work. Sometimes it's job market circumstances that makes re-entry particularly hard, but sometimes it's also life choices (partner used to doing less at home, kids in different schools in opposite directions, certain extracurricular activities for the kids) that come into a family's routine b/c of a SAHM and are near impossible to unwind. I stayed in the workforce full time but went to a flexible, less intense, non-profit leadership role, and I'm so glad I did, I have also hired someone who has been out of the workforce a long time and she's amazing but def coming in at a lower salary/title than what she would command if she stayed in.
