Anyone successfully move out of finance and then come back later? Curious if that detour helped or hurt long-term progression.

I was out of finance because I dedicated to be a career coach for 3 years… it took me 8 months and 130 job applications to get a new job and I had to downgrade my position… when I left finance I was a Senior Manager… but when I came back I had to take a Manager role

I left to have my two kids, does that count? I was out of the industry for about four years before they started going to daycare. I don't think it had much of an impact but this was several years ago and things could be different now.

That definitely counts. Glad to hear you were able to integrate back in.

It happens internally within my company. Not sure about if you switched companies though.

That’s a good distinction. I was thinking internally.

Anyone feel like your job sees you as "one of the good ones?" It hasn't explicitly been said, but I'm one of the only Black attorneys at the firm and I think my white colleagues and partners see me as an example of how Black folks "should be" cause I mind my business. Basically I feel like a token, and I don't know how to shift that idea while staying professional.
