[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took 2003 through 2017 off when I stayed home with our four kids. Absolutely the best decision my husband and I have made, hands down! I went back to work when my youngest was in first grade and oldest in eighth grade.

I hopped back into my career field (HR) and by 2019 moved back into an HR Director role. I have found that the executives that I work with, many with SAH spouses, value my experience managing our home life. They know first hand how important having a solid manager at home is. Post Covid, my career has taken off and since I am not in a federal government related industry, I can financially carry our family in case my husband has to make a career shift.

We have remained flexible and committed to our family and shaped our careers always thinking about family first. I never thought of staying home as a sacrifice, in fact it is a huge privilege. I am grateful and so lucky we chose this route. [/quote]

Your field definitely matters. HR positions are everywhere and generally filled by women. Depending on the size of the business, HR shops can be 1-2 people. This would be a good avenue to take for many sahm returning to the workforce. [/quote]
