I need someone to share their story. I left prior to making manager after almost five year for a senior GL accountant position. Now seeing people getting manager title makes me secretly jealous.

You were so close to manager yet you left without even getting a promotion? Seems shortsighted and hasty.

like

It might be. I did it because I wanted to spend more time with family and being there for my young children instead of working. Hoping for future promotion that might come some day. At my company people don’t move up very often but rather stay put—not many people leave.

You can probably still make manager but it'll involve you switching companies. I left public a year ago for a senior position while I was pregnant and was on track for promotion as well. Since then I've had opportunities for a manager position at other companies but it involves working more hours which I don't want with a little one involved.

I'm currently in a consulting manager role internal to a well regarded pharma company.
