I suffered from imposter syndrome. I was so eager to get back in the game but quickly realize it was hard to juggle work/life balance. Thankfully I had a supportive manager that gave me so much grace to find my footing again.

I would say make sure to separate work from the the home. Meaning I had to get child care so I could focus on work and when it was time to be a mom, I focused solely on that.

I do feel like I set my self back slightly. I do often wonder if I would have been promoted sooner if I didn’t leave for 6 months. But I respect my journey and know it will come at the time right for me.

If I could say anything, I would just say to make sure you give yourself grace in every way. And go do what’s best for you always! Hopefully that is helpful!

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
