Seeking job advice
I’m currently a local government attorney. I enjoy my job and my client, but my boss has made it very clear to our entire office that there’s limited potential for growth (going so much as to say no attorneys will be promoted under her). I’ve got a very sweet offer from a boutique law firm specializing in a very niche area of law (which I’m doing now as well). Almost double my current income, but 1800 billable hours. If I had this offer two years ago, I would have taken it. But I have a 5 month old baby at home and we plan to have a second child in the next two years. Moms that bill 1800 hours, can I still be a good and available mother to my baby? I’m really struggling with the decision and would appreciate any thoughts!
Update: I turned down the offer and they came back with 1600 hours but all pay and benefits remain the same. Considering it much more now.
