I've heard of people who've worked at microsoft for exactly their chosen childbearing years. It's equivalent to 2x+ salary, and a nice paragraph on the resume.

Help me understand this math? We've had 2. They're expensive (and ours were both complicated births), but 2x?

The maternity leave was ridiculously long. So not so much 2x salary, but they worked 1/2 time.
