[quote=Anonymous]I had been at a family-friendly Fed job 4 or 5 years; had mastered the job and leveled out on the career ladder. The next step, professionally, would have been to find a new job. I didn't have "baby fever" at all, but from a career perspective I was in the best possible situation and my boss was a very pro-family woman with 3 kids. I knew I might not find that again if I changed jobs, plus I wouldn't be able to rest on my reputation at a new job. DH and I talked about it: neither of us felt ready, but we also didn't think we'd be more ready in a year so we went for it. It was terrifying at the time but it was the right decision. As it happened, I got an unexpected opportunity to advance at my agency, so that worked out well. If that hadn't happened, though, I would have been just as happy in my boring old job. Good luck![/quote]
