[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom in a high demand job (biglaw partner), honestly if i was interviewing a woman who straight up just said "I took a year off when my kids were little just because our family needed to take a beat and now i'm ready to go back" I wouldn't flinch and I would totally get it. I'm not sure my male partners would agree, but i wouldn't have any issue. And one year out of the market isn't going to make them rusty. I'd think this is less of a red flag than someone who had been laid off for a year, because usually in the legal sector, layoffs don't happen to the better attorneys. [/quote] But how do you distinguish a layoff from claiming you needed to take a beat? I guess if they are male you can assume they didn't stay home for the kids? But woman who make that claim could have left for any number of less than ideal reasons, but claim "it was for the children"[/quote]
