I'm back to being an individual contributor after leading a team. It's been a bit of an ego check, and I'm finding it surprisingly humbling. Have you ever made a lateral or "backward" career move?

Were you demoted or did you switch jobs? Because those are two very different scenarios and should affect how you handle the situation

Good point!

Yes, and I did so happily. It turns out that I am not someone who is suited for a leadership position. I am much, much happier being an individual contributor.

Yes! And it had its challenges but also rewards

OP, how’s it going?

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best. Turns out he was telling me I was scheduled for 3 different interviews for 3 different teams in one day. Has anyone heard of a company doing that or gone through this for an interview? It seems odd to me
