I was verbally offered a job this week and am supposed to have a conversation about salary tomorrow. I have been keeping an eye out for interesting positions but I didn't initiate these interviews - I met with them 2 years ago and then they got back in touch.
I have been looking after my 18 month old and since she was born (with a couple of afternoons of childcare for the last few months which makes it A LOT easier) and although I never imagined myself being a SAHM I am really unsure whether I want to take the position.
On the pro side:
Would avoid leaving a huge gap in my CV
Possibly good money (will know this tomorrow!)
Could probably just work 4 days a week
On the con side:
Would mean leaving my baby!
Would be very challenging as it's in consulting which I haven't done before
Possibly long hours
Not very interested in the subject matter (although I have a lot of experience with it and don't hate it either)
I guess I don't really want to do this now but on the other hand I'm afraid that down the line I will be desperate to go back to work and will kick myself if I turn it down.
I suppose I am looking for a bit of advice and perspective and interested in how others approached this kind of choice. Thank you in advance!
