Am currently FT wohm, and recently suffered severe burnout (hospitalised with viral meningitis and septicaemia brought on by exhaustion). Have just returned to work and they're planning to put me on 4 business trips to Germany next week, then another two the week after. Basically, I need to get out of here, I could've died of the meningitis and I don't want to end up in that state again.
I can't afford to be FT sahm, but don't really know much about PT work. I know that there is some PT work available in my industry. But for the PT workers out there could you possibly tell me?
- Do you end up just as exhausted basically doing a FT job in PT hours, which I know a lot of people find themselves doing?
- have you ever been promoted while PT
- if you go back PT to FT have you taken a step down career ladder, or are you still on the same rung as if you'd stayed FT do you think?
I'm main breadwinner atm in our family, so it's a big decision. Would be so grateful for any experience/insights you guys can give
