[quote=Anonymous]Somewhat. I was offered a clinical faculty position at an Ivy League university while on my second maternity leave, and turned it down because I figured it would be too intense. Accepted a permanent Fed position about a year later, and SO happy I did. I have a lot of flexibility, two days/week telework, make just six figures, and get great performance reviews. It's still fairly high-profile and I feel confident I could ramp up if/when I wanted to. But I also like the trade-off that being a scientist Fed entails, and I'll own that. FWIW, DH essentially family-tracked himself, too, when our first was a year old: also a Fed, tons of telework flexibility, etc. He does damn good work and I'm proud of him, but even more proud of the fact that he prioritizes our family life. We both like what we do, but we our family comes first. I feel enormously lucky that we have these options.[/quote]
