[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, everyone. I'd love to hear more stories (good or bad). I had my first kid during grad school, did a short post-doc, had kid 2 and have been home since then (couple of years). Would like to go back at some point but not yet. But it's commonly repeated that it's difficult or impossible to go back after time off. So I am interested in hearing people's experiences. [/quote] I'm in almost the exact position, except that I had kid1 as a postdoc. Planning to look for a new postdoc-level position in the near future. Depending on your field, there are grants to help women return to the workforce. I easily found a position in a lab last year, but my family ended up relocating so I turned it down. I think as long as you are willing to start back at the bottom where you left off (for low pay and grunt work), you'll be fine. [/quote]
