[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am grateful to see so many helpful replies.

Several people asking about quitting a job without having a new one lined up: He didn't have time to job search while working. Also, he was exhausted and needed a few months off. A decade of 80-hour weeks will do that to you.

If I work, what I make will just barely cover the childcare (kid is too young for school). DH is already miserable watching kid for 3-4 hours a day while I do my freelance stuff. Our kiddo is great, but loud and strong-willed and a terrible sleeper. [b]DH is all about calm and order, noise really bothers him (it's like a sensory thing) and cannot deal with watching him all day.

He reached out to some headhunters but they said they can only help with the same type of intense traditional finance gig he was in before. Will keep trying with this.

I'm a writer and I help with the cover letters, so yes, they are personalized and pretty good.

I got a masters (many years ago) at HYPS-type school and it was such a scam. Fun time, learned a lot, ZERO career support or opportunities. I know several other people with similar stories. So that's why I'm wary about the Masters route. Maybe the MBA would be better.

I felt sorry for your DH until I read that part! Why did he choose to have a kid with you when he's 'bothered by noise'? I would tell him, suck it up buttercup![/quote]

Seriously!  A whole 3 hours?  [/quote]

I don't buy it. OP I'd looking for an excuse not to get a full time job. She certainly should not be arguing that DH should if she's not willing to. [/quote]
