How do you go about telling HR that you don’t want to return from maternity leave? Not sure I can/want to swing agency life after baby. I think I want to take a break.

Don’t tell them in advance. Take your leave and when you’re getting close to the end of it, if you still feel this way, then let them know.

Be prepared for possibly having to pay back medical coverage from during your leave. Check your handbook!

Don’t tell them in advance or they will let you go. If you have health insurance via your company and your leave includes unpaid time - you may have to pay that back since you didn’t have a paycheck that they could draw from for a period of time.

I did this same thing and gave my notice to my immediate boss, the same as I would do if I was quitting to go work somewhere else. Then I wrote a standard resignation letter and emailed it to her and she fwd-ed to HR. The initial conversation was hard but the rest was super easy.

I took a year off and went back to work and it was the best decision I ever made.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

I have been in Product Management even before the term Product Management was so prevalent. I have initiated ideas for new products to align with company strategy and goals, designed and managed the development of the products, and enabled delivery of product to the market. Since most of these are B2B products, delivery would include a phased-production rollout to those customers, based on their roles, locations etc. I have developed both software and data products in the healthcare and social
