[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are same. I have taken my career progression slowly after kids (5 and 2). Make $200 which is 1/4 of DH but I carry the health insurance as he is self-employed[/quote]

Op here - I would be super happy if I made $200K! [/quote]

Fact check that statement. Most of the time money doesn't actually make somebody happier.

The danger of being mommy tracked is two-fold: 1) you might lose the identity you got from a good career and 2) you might lose your financial self-determination. It doesn't seem like you are in danger of either at the moment.

But if the director position is really calling to you, see if you can make it work![/quote]

Similar position in that I carry our family's health insurance and I make about 1/5 of what DH makes as I opted to go "of counsel" for the last 5+ years; however, I was recently offered a move toward equity partnership and I'm going to take it for (2) financial self-determination.  Our family situation is more complicated than yours sounds, OP.  I'm glad I kept one foot in the door so I could ramp up at the right time. [/quote]
