Agree with PP, this is not true. My DH took a boring (although ok on salary) government job over research because of his family. The kind of research he does means long hours and nights, a lot of travel, and not really great pay. He didn't want that for his family.

To answer the question in your title, not, lots of people end up having a baby after they start a new job, and I don't think it's disingenuous to do so. However, in your case, I would agree with PP's and advise waiting on your switch. You never know how things will go. You also don't mention how the pay compares, but that would be a factor for me. If it's close and you'd be fulfilled, it would be worth it to me to not work so many hours. Family time is valuable to me, though, even before we had children, and I could have never worked the schedule you have for any long period of time without burning out.[/quote]
