I love this post, Molly.

I never thought about it as a "metric" to take into account when looking for a place to work, but it does make total sense!

I'm a mom myself, and I always said that motherhood brings you clarity, both for the good and the bad. :D Since I had my son, I'm more able to look into what's really needed in a project and which things aren't.

What's the percentage of parents in your current team?

Thanks for sharing!

About 25%, we have a really young team though which I think skews that percentage to the lower end. At Kenna, which is where I was when I wrote this post, we had probably 60-70% at least. I felt like I had many more coworkers that had kids then didn't.
