[quote=Anonymous]I'm very happy in my career, but I also have been "leaning in" the past 5 years with my company and have been rewarded accordingly in promotions/pay.  Similar to you OP, I make $175K base with up to 20% bonus.  I'm the breadwinner.  I would absolutely still work if money were no object because I find fulfillment in it.  However, I don't even think about it much though in terms of alternatives since DH and I have combined $300K in student loans.

I work 7a-5pm and some nights after 2 yo goes to bed/weekends.  We'll see how that changes after #2 comes in April.  For the last several years I've traveled every couple months for a few days.

I most definitely HATE that I'm not as good at my job as I used to be due to home commitments, and not as good at home as I could be because of my job.  Basically all of my peers either have kids that are past college or for the few that do have kids, their spouse is a SAHM.  They don't have the same time constraints so I'm the one who is always leaving early comparatively and have to make up the time other ways.[/quote]
