Advice on stepping back at an agency
Hello! I’m looking for advice…been at my agency for several years and have been facing some major burnout for the last year or so. My team is very small, just a few full time people and a couple consultants we pull into accounts here and there. Despite the small team size, I’m on 11 or so accounts and we are looking to bring on a few more clients in the coming months (which I’d also be staffing). I have found myself being so overwhelmed by keeping up with everything that I have a hard time caring about the quality of my work and low enthusiasm (which obviously isnt great in our profession)
I am looking to start a family soon and have just been feeling like I have no work life balance and want to slow down to have more time to focus on my personal life. I am wanting to take a big step back and ask my boss to go part time, ideally working ~20 or so hours a week.
I’m wanting to start by asking my boss to go part time/just be staffed on a couple of accounts. If she is open to discussing me being part time, I have no idea what consultants make per hour or how that is typically structured. Any advice or anecdotes would be greatly appreciated!
