I feel i am so left behind. All the people who were my level or you get are now above me and i am left with reporting to then. I missed taking a few opportunities along the way and here i am. Ladies don’t pass up on any opportunity that comes your way

I got back from maternity leave recently. I did not get promoted before I left because of momentum concerns. I won't get promoted this year for the same reason.
Feedback is valid. Wouldn't change a thing about what I did and why I stepped away but man it stings to feel this left out.
Folks I worked with (peers and juniors) are all promoted and I feel like a dinosaur.
I also chickened out of some other promising opportunities and probably put a lot of my eggs in a non productive basket.

C'est la vie :)

I hear you! I’m in the same situation due to prioritizing my 2 kids under 2. Despite what people say, we can’t have it all and that’s ok.

They always forget the end part. You can have it all, but not at the same time.

Try to view it not as left behind, but just on a different path. Don't beat yourself up for past choices, it only brings you down. Those negative vibes are bad for your future. Everyone makes decisions they later question. The key is to learn from them, accept that you made them, let it go and focus on the rest of your life. You have so much in front of you, focus on what's next.

I on purpose said no to a few amazing opportunities (on paper at least) but I’m ok with that as I prioritized mental health and peace
