Being somewhat proud of myself for offering my service when the time came.
Having met and served with and still friends with some truly amazing individuals and genuine heroes.
That’s probably it to be honest. Everything else is either neutral or bad. I never really appreciated how much doing 10 years would set me back from a career perspective.

I hear you! I feel that way in some aspects due to staying home with my kids for several years. But I have faith in you! Two years will fly by ⭐️🌟 keep pushing!!

My time served leaves me with pride and a great group of lifelong friends. I was able to take what I did in the military and turn it into a long career doing what makes me satisfied. The thing that is troublesome is how difficult the process to get what you have earned as benefits is to receive those benefits. This needs to be made a smoother easier process.

I absolutely agree with that statement.

Would like to hear your opinion:

I am new recruiter with about 2 yrs experience within people practice ( learning & development - Employability support - and now recruiting)

I am keen to transition to FAANG/UK but not sure if I should continue in people’s business! Or should I try RPM/APM opportunities as I am currently leading full cycle work with cross functional teams I feel that might be nice thing to take a look at.

Is there other promising career paths I can transition to within tech?

Would it be hard to get a exp associate role in advisory at a B4 as someone with about 10 months in audit at EY, 7 months experience in corporate accounting at a F300 and CPA? Hated my time at the F300 but had thought the grass would be greener in industry. I’m starting a financial analyst position at a major hospital system in my area soon and want to stick with that for a couple years before making a transition but was curious if I just don’t have the right experience for a role in advisory.

Perspective. I’m retiring from the service and I’ve positioned myself decently to be competitive. I have a graduate degree pursuing a doctorate, LSSBB, ScrumMaster, SPHR, and PMI-ACP.
