For the last 5 years (ie age 30-35) or so I have taken things a bit easy on the career path. I'm in a good position job wise, but have totally missed out on the extras - the networking, and getting involved in various really interesting ventures that I'm becoming increasingly aware that my childless colleagues are doing. I feel a couple of steps behind where I would like to be. so q is - does it matter? can you up the pace to the same effect in your mid/late-30s? ( did i just say "late 30s?) If you are going to take a slightly easy 5 years does it make a difference when you take them? Do you miss the boat by not making your mark when younger? does doing it all young mark you out as particularly exceptional? does trying to do it later mark you out as a wannbe/alsoran?
