After 7 months of maternity leave I am returning to work full time. I have to work full time as the main bread winner for our family, but I also am looking forward to returning to work and resuming my career. During a keeping in touch day today, 3 different conversations revealed that people expect me to just remain at my current job level from now on, in the words of one "all that leadership stuff won't be for you now". But I love my job and have long term career goals to meet. I realise they may take longer now that I have a family to look after as well, but AIBU to think I can still have a career and not just a job? Or am I being totally unrealistic?
