> You are likely hinting that it is a choice to have kids.
I did not, and my view on having children is not relevant here.

- mac01021 6y agoIt depends a lot on the nature of your work. I have a young child and, over the last 4 months, have probably spent less time than ever doing work for my employer. At the same time, just by having the right idea/insight at the appropriate time, I've probably delivered more value to my employer in the last 2 months than ever before. I think and hope that the outcome of all this in terms of my career will be a net positive. But I guess time will tell.
