Should you go part-time after maternity leave? It’s a question that many women lawyers grapple with as they prepare to return to work after having a baby. On one hand, you want to be there for your child and soak up all those precious early moments. But on the other hand, you’ve worked hard to build your career and don’t want to lose momentum.
In this episode, I share my own experience of going back to work after mat leave, both full-time with my first child and part-time with my second. I also draw upon the experiences of friends and clients to offer a well-rounded perspective on the pros and cons of each approach.
