Having It All and Doing It All Series
When I was an associate at a big law firm working my butt off 12 hours a day, leaving my house every morning at 6am and not getting home until after 6p,missing my baby and miserable, people told me that was the sacrifice I’d have to make to collect a 6-figure paycheck.
They said I couldn’t have it all. Or, if I couldn’t, I couldn’t have it all at once. There’s trade-offs, they told me.
You can’t be a hands-on mom and make a lot of money. You have to choose. If you want to work less, you are going to have to take a pay cut. Just accept that.
