Hi all
I'm a long time lurker on MN but am taking the plunge in terms of posting and I'd really appreciate any help.
I'm currently on maternity leave and due to go back to work next year. I work in practice and have a long commute to work, over three hours. I'll go back part time 3/4 days a week so I'll probably have the right balance in terms of days/working hours, although I'll have a very long day.
I'm not sure I actually want to go back to work at all while the baby is so young. Really feel that I might not get this time again etc. I'm fortunate enough to be able to live on my husbands salary so any extra money from my salary is a bonus.
My question is really to anyone who took a few years out. Did you feel you could get back into work easily enough? Have you gone back to the same role? Did your confidence go?
I'd love to have a few years out but worry that I'll forget everything and I feel like I might regret giving up my job having worked so hard to qualify and progress within the firm.
Thanks for your help!
