I work as a manager in Big4.
I am a mother of a 2.5 yrs old.
Before I had my baby I was always top performer in my team.After becoming a mother and wfh from the last couple of years I feel it has taken a toll on my confidence, even I think twice before making any comment on meetings.
Even I don't get confidence to join occasional team mates which might help with networking.
How can I get my old self back

This happens because we cannot give 100% on all the tasks when we multi task. We are humans not robots.
It will gradually change when child starts learning to be independent. Like eating solid food, starts playing, starts going to school etc. Maybe then you will get more time to think about the work and brain tries to manage things well

Take it slow for next couple of years and then bounce back. Its okay to not be top performer for life.

One year in NYC—24, enjoyed myself, but no deep connections with new friends/partners. Came to hopefully open the door on a variety of opportunities, but something tells me that spending another year here will not help that. Money flies, space is cramped, not thrilled with my office, hate winter. I miss LA a lot—I miss driving, the weather, the space, people...but everyone tells me I have to give NYC at least 2 years. Thoughts?
