As you search for work that promotes balance, you might review your most important priorities and use four key levers—travel, vacation time, commuting time, and responsibility within job—to determine whether a new job prospect will help or hinder your efforts for greater balance.
You might consider each of these four factors when selecting a job or thinking about a promotion. These will either help or hurt your ability to balance a career and family. Decide how much of each you can have and still balance your life. When you’ve made the decision, find a job and a place to live that correspond with what you’ve decided.
