[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shocking, I just got back into the work force 2 years ago after 8 years being at home with the kids.  It took me a whole 2 months to find work and I had two offers to choose from.  I'm in IT sales to the feds and am pulling in 300k/yr-more than I ever imagined by hitting my sales goals each quarter.

I picked sales because I'm outgoing, confident, and not too hard on the eyes. I also primarily wanted to WFH so I could get the kids off the bus.  I also was up front about my family in the interview process.  The hiring manager (a man) has a SAHW and we related in the interview process around children.

Sorry to rain on your bitter party, but it was pretty wonderful to be home while my children were small and jump back to wiotk wtih a high salary upside, in a family friendly career.

Very, very few people in this country make equal to or near $300K. So you are representative of a very small pool of people. Very few people are finding work that salary in two months. So you are in smaller pool. And it's probably safe to say that even fewer are doing so after being out of work for more than a few years.

Point is, you are the exception. It's great that it turned out well for you, but I don't expect that many other people are in your shoes.[/quote]
