Dear Nappyvalley members,
I have a 2yo toddlers and hubby and I are currently TTC #2. I have been working in investment banking for a few years, I was lucky enough to be able to take a year off for maternity leave after which I came back to my old job.
After a year back I am fed up, I am not ready to stay at home, I want to work, but I don't want to do this anymore. I have been looking for something else for some time, and I have also been talking to a "coach" to see if I can get more clarity but I find myself lost not knowing what to do to find where I fit outside investment banking.
I start looking for roles and I usually end up applying to IB related positions because I don't see what else I can do.
I have my list of trasferable skills but I am struggling to move forward after this.
So my question to you is, what did you do after your maternity leave? How did you achieve a career change? to what areas did you move?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, i feel lost and need some light.
thank you
