Ever tried to work in a company you worked for a few years back? I'm contemplating applying to an open role in my ex-company, but for some reason, I'm holding back. I've heard that companies are super receptive to applications from ex-employees, so they can skip the training part and save a lot of money in the process, but I'd like to hear more from people with first-hand experience with this.

Yes, and it's been amazing. I left on a good note and was welcomed back with even more appreciation than when I elft.

I've known people who have done that, but I haven't myself. I always left on good terms, but the opportunity never presented itself to head back to a former roost. I wouldn't be opposed to the idea, but it would come down to the details. I have a friend who left a company and came back a few years later and has had a nice career there in his second stint. No reason not to do it if the position is attractive.

I went back to my old agency after 5 years in house. I have no regrets. I still had to do basic onboarding and wasn't eligible for full benefits (namely 401k match) until I'd reached the one-year mark again, neither of which were a big deal.

I was at an agency for 6 years as a Sr. CW. I left for an ACD position at another agency. After a year, my new agency had layoffs after losing some business. My old agency took me back as an ACD and I was there for another 5 years. I left on good terms so it wasn’t difficult to come back.

Hi! I am 4 years into Healthcare Marketing with most of my experience being in design, social media, and content creation. I also do a lot of blog writing and collateral creation.

I'd say that now I have quite a bit more I can offer. I am working remotely and love this job. What is a fair salary for the skills and experience that I have?
