[quote=Anonymous]I had my first baby in 2003. Left my job and had no trouble picking up freelance work from home from a couple former employers - a couple in the DC area, one in LA. We didn't have videoconferencing but email and the internet did exist and we used teleconferencing + fedex for things they needed to get me on paper. I wasn't executive level but manager level. For the 10 years I'd worked prior to that I'd regularly worked with freelancers who were doing that to take time with young kids and one of my early supervisors was fully WAH so I had a good example that it was possible. And this was early 90s, pre-internet. Phones, fedex, and fax. When my kids started at preschool a few years later I was not the only mom managing some freelance work to keep a hand in our careers. Most of us, including me, went back to FT work pretty easily once the kids were in kindergarten.[/quote]
