[quote=Anonymous]PP here.  Guess I'm pretty lucky that you aren't the one I need to prove myself to.  My work record speaks volumes about my ability to perform well and meet commitments, and I've had no problem having folks reach out to offer me senior positions.

Do you realize that many employers, at least for certain levels and certain roles, are looking for people who are simply smart, agile, competent colleagues who can provide adult supervision and leadership for their departments/teams?  I logged in my hours long ago (though I may again by choice), and the people who matter in hiring decisions look at what I've accomplished as a group leader, not at whether I've been home with kids for a few years.  I know because they keep calling.

I may well be wrong, but I'd guess you're in your mid-to-late thirties.  I'm a bit older so that might explain part of the difference in perspective.  I've seen friends go back into the workforce successfully, and I've seen people work through the time their kids are mid-elementary school and then stay home or go PT.
