#C27272 F-33 Hi everyone, I need some advice. I'm feeling stuck right now. I want to start working, but my daughter is only 2.5 years old, and we're also planning for a second baby. Sometimes I feel that another pregnancy will put my career on hold for another 2–3 years, and I'll fall further behind professionally. Along with this, I have household responsibilities, and my daughter will start playschool next July. My husband is working in a private job and helps me whenever he can, but due to his work schedule, he doesn't have much time to share the major responsibilities. I have a background in web development, but I'm confused about what to do next qki 2023 k bad mein working nhi hun. Sometimes I think about preparing for a government job, and other times I look for a stable work-from-home opportunity. I also don't feel comfortable hiring a nanny because I have trust issues when it comes to leaving my daughter in someone else's care. Lately, I feel demotivated and unsure about my career direction. Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you manage your career, kids, and family responsibilities together? I would really appreciate your advice. ❤️ Thanks and best wishes for all....

Join somewhere first, as the daughter gets older plan for second pregnancy. This way you will have time to rebuild your career and meanwhile your daughter will also grow. The more number of years of gap, it’s way too difficult to get a job. Companies don’t consider your damn reason. Even all those returnee programs n all just for little gap like max 3 yrs. With some efforts max 5 yrs will still be considered, beyond that forget it! I do understand your daughter is still small but believe me once she is grown, after 5 you will feel bored as you were already working & independent financially. You can spend on nannies, day cares, take help from parents/in laws if they are willing to! This time don’t think of money. You have time to earn. Believe me, if you plan pregnancy now & the phases afterwards will be tough, health wise, monetarily plus you won’t be able to return to work with that much gap. Also with responsibilities continuing a job is still easier than joining a new job. With age, women’s harmones too start playing aggressively making body n mind go haywire so that’s again one more negative when you want to join newly, existing one you can still manage.
1. Aap thoda late ho gayi hai government job ke liye, coz state government me hi aap apply kr skti hai, centre me age limit 30 hi hai (for general). 2. If you are considering a second pregnancy, do give it a second thought. Your daughter is just 2.5 years old and you are 33, conceiving at this age and at this phase will certainly need more effort and care. 3. The working gap can be justified citing the pregnancy and birth of your daughter but you really need to update your skills as things have changed pretty much. Take some time and learn new technologies. I hope it helps, good luck.

There are women returnee programs which are mostly remote wfh. Also if you are into web development roles, there are a lot of wfh openings. There are also freelance remote AI-trainer roles that pay well. Set up/reactivate/optimize your profile in Naukri, LinkedIn, you will get a job soon. Being a mom of two, I would say, even though having a second kid is nice, kids are expensive. And with this age gap(mine were 2.9 years apart), a nanny is a must, even if you get a wfh job.
Take up freelancing gigs and hire a maid as well to help with household chores..
Why planning another baby as 1st baby is jst 2.5 , You will be stuck being a full time mother , Does ur hubby and his fly wants a boy thata why u trying , Again its jst not abt job or being a mother , do you knw your body wil also take a toll, You vant have everything , Chose wats ur priority , If its job and save for future so that u can keep trying for a boy , then plan accordingly .... If you can juggle and manage chaos then go ahead to wat u doing now
1. Try to get the WFH option job based on your IT background and have a nanny under your supervision.
