Over 17 years and 2 countries, I worked my way up to VP at a well known investment bank (obtaining a masters degree along the way). Got laid off in the 2008 banking crisis, did contract work for a while, finally gave it up for personal reasons (bad bad decision!!) I took up part time teaching (adult learners) more as a hobby than a career.
8 years on, I can see that my kids will fly the nest in a few years. And watching my husband work from home, I realise how much I miss it all (not to mention the money!)
I was always a generalist, working on cross-product / cross departmental projects (seemed like a good idea at the time ). I am now in my late 40s. I immersed myself in my 'new' life and do not have any contact with old colleagues. So not really sure whether it is possible for me to go back to banking.
I am happy to obtain some additional qualification/ certification. Hopefully I will be "market ready" when the economy emerges from the current crisis.
So here's my question. What certification/ further qualification if any would you advise me to take, assuming banks ever go into hiring mode again? Or is this a pipe-dream at my age?
