[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have this exact dilemma but my kids are 2 and 5 so I’m keeping the flexible job for now. But in a few years I’d definitely go for option 2.

What is key I think, is knowing how much time is left in your career, and knowing you have to do something that will open up other opportunities at some point - opportunities may disappear if you stay comfortable too long and age out. (No clue your age but just general advice)[/quote]

It really doesn’t get much better with older kids unless you subject them to an 80s style latch key childhood. [/quote]

In my case I’m lucky that my husband is super flexible too and can be at the bus stop every day if I can’t. So for me this is about the fact that it’s important to me to spend every morning and evening with them in this stage of life. As they get older I would be willing to miss some of that time in the interest of career moves. Their dad would be with them and we have grandparent help too. And I would never take a job with zero flexibility. Right now I have unbelievable flexibility, and literally any other job would be a decrease of some kind.[/quote]
