[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 48, in a tough job market, [b]voluntarily taking time off to spend time with family sends a different signal than getting laid off, in terms of future prospects.[/b] Not a good one. You may indeed never get hired at VP level again. Maybe you would get hired and claw your way back up the ladder, but it will not be easy. Get therapy, work on mindful balance. Hold out for a layoff and severance lol.[/quote] What type of judgmental employer would begrudge a candidate who said "I took a 6 month professional break to explore my next move and spend more time with my family?" Probably the same one who would also view a layoff as a red flag. I think people have to do what is best for them. Some people are just judgmental.[/quote] Sure. Then that same person has to be okay with accepting the reality that he might not get hired at his level again. [/quote]
