[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends what you call mommy tracking.

For example among my friends, most of us of both genders left biglaw after a few years because we wanted better work-life balance. That was before any of us had kids and some still don't and don't plan to.

I think mommy tracking is a pejorative term that encompasses a lot of choices. If I make $300k for a WFH job where I am viewed as an expert in my field, am I "mommy tracking" because I'm not trying to be the CEO and I'm happy with my current schedule?[/quote]

This is me. I’m 35 and have two kids. I make close to $300K and WFH FT. My husband makes slightly more and needs to be in the office 4/week and travels. I want to have a third kid and plan to keep working. Would not consider going back to an office unless I was doubling my salary. I want to be home for my kids (we have a FT nanny and they are in preschool, but it would be harder if a parent wasn’t home) but mostly I want to have less stress, go for a run in the middle of the day, and hang out with my dogs.

Can I ask what you do? I’m a fed work from home and only take 130K with kids would love to increase that. [/quote]
