In this episode, we chat with Mike Cvet, a Distinguished Engineer residing in the Bay Area. Mike has five kids: ages 11, 9, 7, and 4 (twins). He offers candid insights into managing a large family and discusses the challenges and rewards of raising children of different ages. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing tasks that bring genuine value at work, rather than attempting to do everything. At home, Mike stresses the significance of being present for his children and spending quality one-on-one time with each of them. Offering practical advice, he suggests that parents take their parental leave in one extended period, facilitating a smoother transition for themselves and their coworkers.
