[quote=Anonymous]An SVP of sales is usually managing a large team. They are also traveling like crazy.  Does he report to the CEO or is there a CRO layer in between?

There is a difference between working lots of hours and traveling all the time. What does his schedule really look like? Can he decide to basically stop work at 4pm and start up at 8pm? Is he willing to do this?

I would have some brass tacks talk about how flexible he can be. If he travels 15 biz days a month, can you live with a weekend only dad? Do you live in an area where $400k gets you a lot of help? We make $500-600k a year and outsource yard, lots of childcare for a disabled child and someone two days a week to help after school with cooking and shuffling one kid around (they one that isn’t disabled). It is a lot of work to manage these humans. And consider if you can live with just 1 kid if you realize that his schedule is untenable.

Also talk about what your vision is for these kids. For example, we never enrolled our kid in a single weekend activity until 7th grade when she was begging to do something. None of this crazy travel whatever stuff. Our weekends were for us. That really worked.
