[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think I would quit completely, as others have said, find another job instead. I’m in finance and quit for a year, and it was extremely hard to find work with a gap in my resume. once the kids are older and in school you may regret not working. I assume you also spent a lot of time and money on your career, so I’d try to at least work part time or find a lower paying job while your kids are small. [/quote]

With Covid, I’ve found that everything is changing. I work in finance too and we just hired two people over the last year with much more significant gaps in their resumes. Things are more fluid now, and, especially given the great resignation talks, hiring managers are much more open to non traditional backgrounds and gaps on resumes. It’s all in how you frame it, but OP shouldn’t be worried about navigating out and then back in if she decides SAH isn’t for her longer-term. [/quote]

FWIW, we are in an unusual time. I think once people start running out of money they will be going back, and job hiring will be competitive again.  [/quote]

Yeah, I wouldn't quit my job thinking I could get another easily a year or two from now.  It's too volatile. ANd her background is in law which has a surplus of people even these days.[/quote]

I am hearing billable hours are way down for certain areas (way up in real estate), so I would think in house would get more rather than less competitive. [/quote]
