[quote=Anonymous]I only read your initial response. I'm a 34 year-old mom of 2 with a HHI of $485K+ with a FT remote role ($165K) and a nanny (no cleaning person, I do that) I think that you are well-positioned to leave your industry if you want given your HHI and totally validate your feelings about the ridiculousness of your commuting into an office to sit there by yourself three days a week. However, I think that you may want to try hiring out before you do that...just so you can see the reality of what that would be like before you make this huge decision that will likely impact your job prospects down the line (should you want to go back to work when your children are older). On your HHI you can afford to hire a FT nanny, a cleaning person who comes every day or a few times a week, buy a treadmill or a peloton/see a nutritionist (only putting these here because you said your body was a mess) and you can outsource other obligations. Can you flex your vacation and take 1-2 weeks off from your job and try to set some of this stuff up for yourself? Can your husband help? You sound like you're really overwhelmed and your exhaustion seems to be forcing this binary decision-making, but if you can take a step back and allow yourself to get help (hiring a nanny is hard, but you can do it and you can find a really good person) you may find that you are less overwhelmed.
