[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but I am in my mid-30s and like my “mom job” making $200k. Sometimes I wish I could be more aggressive in my career like others I know. But ultimately I value the flexibility too much. I like having time with the kids, to manage our finances and rental property, plan nice weekend outings and get-togethers with friends. [/quote]

What field are you in ?[/quote]

Pretty sure this person is a troll.  Not because it's impossible to have a flexible job that pays that much, but because she brought up salary, rental property, and finances that need to be managed.  She's pushing your buttons. [/quote]
Not the PP, but this isn’t necessarily a troll. My $200k mom job is in tech. I’m 40 (15+ year career) and I live in a HCOL area. [/quote]

Did you read what you're responding to? The PP said it wasn't impossible, just that the post was designed to stir the pot.[/quote]

NP here. I also work in tech and this is incredibly common, so I don't think that post was designed to "stir the pot" at all. I work with thousands of people that make $400k+ and are all working remotely and have super flexible schedules. This is the new way of working, and it's here to stay.[/quote]

Yes, I can see working remotely, and flexible schedules, but at the same time, those people are not just punching in 40 hour work weeks.  They basically are working every waking hour that isn't the core 5-8 dinner/bedtime routine, and likely some on weekend mornings/evenings outside of family time.

It's not ike OP who does her 9-5, the mic drops her phone.[/quote]
