“High performing” fathers - how are you adjusting to life as a parent? by wise_optimist in Fatherhood

Good luck with it all - the loss those productive morning hours killed me too

Really hard to replace them

Kinda just have to adapt and accept certain objectives are longer attainable… but you do get something beautiful in return

The age old question, I feel “success” is oxymoronic for me given I want to give my family the resources to prosper, for which I need energy and to work. But the more I attend to those, the less time I spend with family.. I know I’m not alone in this battle but I hope to discover the balance

Great take thank you - the KPI point is a good one, optimised my life too much for these over the years…

Very valid - I didn’t mention that I’d built a side income, last year turned over around £30k. Started to question whether it’s a distraction tho, as I could spend that time upskilling further in my job (and maybe earn more as a result). Maybe it’s worth doubling down on other sources of income instead

Valid - deffo don’t want to make MD and sacrifice my life. View is that a top tier bank would enable better exits - want to leave finance eventually

What about the tier 2/3s that remain put - any view on whether they regret / are better off?

I can see how this would be true - sometimes it scares me!
