My husband left his job when I had the opportunity to become full-time and begin my
career in Human Resources. He has been a stay at home dad raising and
homeschooling our boys for almost 4 years now. My career took flight, my salary has
doubled, and we both confidently know that our decision 4 years ago was the right one!

After clerking for a year, I started at a large international law firm. I proposed to bill 75% of
the required hours for 75% of the pay. I still wanted to be a partner, and more than anything I
wanted to be viewed as smart and capable. Now a 15 year lawyer with three children 16-
years-old and younger, I still bill 65-80% of the hours partners are expected to bill, I make a
very good income, and I have an unparalleled level of flexibility that allows me to come and
go as I please.

I believe it is so important that my boys see powerful and career-driven women in their
lives and fathers who support that by working as full partners. I believe we build a
foundation of respect in our home by how my husband and I treat each other and showing
our boys that men and women should operate as a team. I am a better mother, partner
and individual for having found some of my self fulfillment and worth outside the home.

worked part-time in my field and continued to build my skills, knowledge, expertise, and
