[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends what you call mommy tracking.

For example among my friends, most of us of both genders left biglaw after a few years because we wanted better work-life balance. That was before any of us had kids and some still don't and don't plan to.

I think mommy tracking is a pejorative term that encompasses a lot of choices. [b]If I make $300k for a WFH job where I am viewed as an expert in my field, am I "mommy tracking" because I'm not trying to be the CEO and I'm happy with my current schedule?[/b][/quote]

What role is this? It seems likely so unique to be unrepeatable? How did you end up here?[/quote]

NP.  It's not that unique.  I work for an insurance company where many mid-level positions pay that much and allow you to WFH full time.  Oh, and WFH started before Covid; we historically had multiple offices and it wasn't unusual to have teams spread across different locations, so we were used to working/collaborating/managing remotely.   But you have to have the right experience.[/quote]

So a finance or legal role?[/quote]

I'm the PP who posted earlier. I'm an in-house attorney at a large company. I feel fortunate but not unique - there are similarly situated jobs.[/quote]

$300 for in house is pretty high unless you are GC[/quote]

Ummm DP but the GC at like a Fortune 100 company would be making WAY more. And working a ton obviously.

Our Bethesda neighborhood is full of WFH parents that clearly make pretty high salaries. Just look outside and people are home all day. Not sure why this is so hard to believe?

Another salary at that range would be Of Counsel at a law firm, working reduced hours for better work-life balance. I have a few friends in those roles.[/quote]
