[quote=Anonymous]At 35, I was mostly a SAHM but doing freelance projects in marketing research for former colleagues. I'd spent 10 years working in marketing research, five years at a consulting firm and then five years client-side as research manager, in a couple different roles at the same company. That SAHM/freelancer phase lasted 7 yrs. At 41, I returned to a FT job at the same level I left (Manager). Now 48, still at the same company and have advanced to Director. I'm happy with where I am in my career and glad I took the time off because I loved being home with my kids when they were little. Sure, I'd probably be at a higher level now if I hadn't taken that break but that's fine with me. I don't think of myself as "behind" because I'm not in a race with anyone else.[/quote]
