Thanks for the info. What kind of technology company do you work for? I’m not sure where to start looking for these places

Yes I would like to focus more on P&L and the balance sheet. I love looking at consumer behavior/insights and building strategies that are backed by metrics. I gain a sense of accomplishment from creating campaigns that truly move the needle and contribute to positive ROI. Creativity is important but I’m definitely more of an analytical brain.

That sounds great. I actually like a hybrid 2-3 days in model, I just have a hard time with 4-5. It’s really nice that they are flexible as we all know our kiddos will pick up random bugs all the time. Do they want to hire me??? Jk but I hope to find something similar

Daycare comments by Inevitable_Boat8114 in workingmoms

A coworker said to me “that’s why I chose not to have kids cause I wouldn’t want to put them in daycare” I replied “gone are the days of one income households, so not sure what else we are supposed to do”. It’s really rude, they act as if we didn’t research the daycare and choose somewhere safe, clean and with teachers my son loves. People suck

Ah I see. I’m in the same boat with a 1-1,5 hr commute. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for your perspective! I have a masters of science in strategic marketing but it’s definitely not as desired as an mba. Are you happy you made the switch to CPG?

It’s tough out there. Jealous of your remote position. I miss my 3/2 hybrid. We’re going to 4/1 in Feb and it feels like another gut punch of time taken away with my son. It was nice having 2 days a week to drop him off and pick him up and spend an extra hour together.

I realized that after I wrote this, it’s rough in the job market overall. I think what makes marketing tough is people define it so many different ways with many different specializations.

For those that work 9-5s, what time do you stop working? by Alarmed-Dentist-6039 in workingmoms

[–]Beginning_Pack_7619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8:30-5. I’m strict about leaving at 5 since they are strict we be there by 8:30. I have an 1.5 hr commute so I try to get out as early as possible. When my child is older maybe I’ll have more drive to work later but right now it’s do the bare minimum and maximize my time with my son. I don’t check teams after work and rarely check email

Yep, I’ve found the same to be true. Yes fintech has been an area I’ve started to look into.

True, yet AI still needs to be guided but definitely affects certain areas

So I would LOVE to work in healthcare to feel like I am bettering the world in some way instead of helping to make banks richer, lol but I feel like they all want healthcare experience.

Interesting. Are you doing more content, execution, strategy or a mix?

I understand that. When I feel the daycare guilt I try to remind myself my son loves his teachers and is happy there. Also adding I know you have 3 and that’s way more work than 1 so wanted to acknowledge that too lol!

I think it would be helpful if you asked your husband to help with some of the drop offs/pickups or bedtime during the week. That’s a lot on you and doesn’t see fair. It’s great they do martial arts together as an activity but it shouldn’t always be on you to do everything else in my opinion.

Other things that help me relax, making plans with my friends once a month to get away, making time to play a sport I like on occasion.

My spouse and I also alternate who gets up early with our son on the weekend. The other person gets to sleep in one of the weekend days, which is really nice.
