[quote=Anonymous]OP, after 6 years at home, I sent out resumes applying for jobs slightly lower than my last position. You might consider this strategy because it worked for me. I had several offers in just a few weeks, took one, and was promoted and given a raise within 18 months. I've just hit the 2 year mark being back at work. Yes, there was some divide with younger colleagues who seemed to look down on me at first. They seemed to think that because I'd been home, I had outdated skills or wouldn't be willing to work as hard. And, it's harder to establish friendships at work because I just don't have time to go after drinks after work anymore. But I think I've earned their respect, and certainly have earned the recognition of my supervision who keeps loading me up with more responsibility. [/quote]
