[quote=Anonymous]I would first spend six months interviewing like crazy and try to find a similar role with similar pay at a nontoxic place. I would then spend at least six months in the new job before making a decision.

I would also figure out how to make your role your current role (hopefully in a new place more tolerable). Given you have both early mornings and late nights, can you basically take afternoons off (for example, are you working with China all the time)? Can you bail from the office at 2pm and hang out with the kids until 8pm and then start back? If the CEO isn’t on all these calls, which ones can you skip? If you have tons of standing calls, can you talk to the leader of each call to see if every other week could be just as effective? If lots of people report to you, are you having 1:1 meetings? Can you group them? Or make them 15 minutes instead of 30? I generally find women feel like they have to show up for everything and apologize when they have an emergency and can’t make something in a way that men don’t. If you think this is you, can you stop this?

I’m a direct report to a CEO and I do have to show up when he is there, but I also might go get a pedicure at 2 in the afternoon or cook dinner at 3:30pm when I don’t have a meeting.[/quote]
