Choosing between promotion and family time
Got offered a senior position but it's 50-60 hour weeks during a growth period at the company. My oldest is starting soccer this fall and my youngest will be in kindergarten. The money would be nice but I already feel like I'm missing everything. Why is this so hard? Anyone take a position like this and regret it? Or take it and made it work?
50-60 hours is a grind with kids. That's basically seeing them on weekends only. Can you negotiate? Maybe a later start date, maybe work from home days? A lot of companies will negotiate if you're good. Worth asking before you decide it's all or nothing.
