[quote=Anonymous]I think most new grads go through something like this. College was incredible and then… you work 8-9 hours a day and have an hour commute (30 each way is average).

I had figured it out, leveled up, had two kids with a nice balance. Then covid hit and the balance became even easier as a remote worker so we had a 3rd kid. Went back to work 50% and still managed but it wasn’t great. And then with Trump, 0 telework days and the shit hit the fan. We can’t keep our current lives going. Sadly we definitely wouldn’t have had any kids if we knew our lives would be like this. No one is currently hiring, not even for advanced stem diplomas.

There’s a balance out there somewhere. For me it was a short commute (involved a move), taking less pay so that I left work after 8-9 hours, and then at least 2/5 days of telework.

Once you put your dues in and level up, can you scale back your hours? I have been working for 15 years and I can get done in 8 hours what it takes others 12 hours to do. I just know what I’m doing and know what to do with any problems I encounter. [/quote]
