About to leave my firm and consulting for an industry, totally remote role. Just surprised at how sad I am feeling at this point. Any of you other mama’s make a similar move?

Yes, great way of putting it. And am also dreading sharing the news :( how long did it take you to adjust to the new role?

Sad to leave certain coworkers or something more?

I left for the exact same reasons. I cried so much when I resigned. It’s been 2 years and while I don’t miss the travel, I miss the challenges and caliber of people I worked with. I’m now looking to switch again for a tech company, fully remote but hopefully with bigger, more interesting challenges! I hope you find a great role!

Try his is exactly what I am going through right now...I just cried this morning because I would never go in to the office again .. it does work well in someways though, I have a 1.5 year old that I can now spend more time with

What role in industry? I am pretty early in my pregnancy and already feeling like I might not want to return to consulting...

I will say this.. you never know how you’ll feel until after mat leave. I thought the same too when I was pregnant with my first. But I still returned to work and 4.5 years later with a 4.5 yr old and a 2 yr old I am making the move. It’s primarily because the older one just had more going on extracurricularly that I now need to be more involved vs just daycare before

What roles are you looking at? Are these lateral moves or upward moves going to industry? Are AD or D levels remote? How do you adjust to mew work place and develop your network and trust circle as an experienced hire?

Whenever I have to put slides together, I doubt myself a million times and it takes too long to make a single slide. I know I have Impostor Syndrome and depression, and the longer it takes to put a slide together, the harder it is to get it done. It’s like I have a phobia for doing the work, but it’s my job as a consultant 😔 I think I fear getting it wrong, but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how they have coped? Thanks, in advance 🙏🏻

None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
