Appearances
I was terrified to leave because I left at 30 and I was thinking to myself, OK, when I return at 40, I will have lost a lot of the technological skills I need.
I remember wondering how I would pivot careers, how I would get back in, how I would make this work for me.
And really being concerned.
I think if I knew that returnships existed, if I knew, hey, I'm going to work for 60 years and there's all these programs to help ease me back in.
I wouldn't have had any fear or trepidation, and I think I would have taken that career break much more willingly.
One of the benefits of returnships is you enter at mid-level, and while your pay may not be what it was when you left, it's at least mid-level pay.
Sometimes returners worry
That they may have lost skills or that they're irrelevant or that they're rusty and so that they feel a lot of times like they may not be a good option for those mid-level jobs when in reality they are.
They just need someone to take a chance on them.
Your career is a long game.
And the whole purpose of a career is to provide funds for you to live, but it's also to enhance your life, right?
To accomplish things, to learn, to grow, to push yourself.
