So I don't mean to be a pedantic ass here, but the "I'm a CEO and I have a wonderful home life" is probably the exception, not the rule. The reality is that you can't be a CEO on a 9-5 schedule. You probably have a lot of help for all those times you have to travel, stay late, leave early, etc. Something is going to be scarified.
That being said, you can have a successful career without becoming a CEO or running a global business unit. So it's not 100% career or 100% family.
- basseq 6y agoAbsolutely true. You have to decide where your priorities are, and what you’re willing to sacrifice. My point was the simpler one that having kids in of itself doesn’t hold you back.
