That today I have been promoted, given a 10%raise and a bonus coming my way!!!

After coming back from 5 year break to have kids in 2022, I pushed myself every step of the way and today been told i have been appreciated for my hard work and it us all finally paying off!!

Every time i drop my children at nursery and school, i miss them and struggled with mum guilt both times but telling myself its also for their own well being.

At work, I always get this Imposter syndrome everytime i get appreciated but here is a proof that words are not just words!! Its not much in terms of money for peers maybe but this is huge for me!!

I am so happy that I am shaking!!!

I am sharing this here because I think this is unique in a way only you guys can fully understand ❤️

This is fantastic, OP. I hope the Best Dinner Ever tastes exquisite. (Pizza is also my best dinner ever. 😄)

Thank you ❤️

@MasterBeth I know!! I've been on the same salary during CoL all through and I get that this is behind compared to my peers but I am enjoying the fact it is more than I expected and they really did what they could for now 😁

Great well done! Use it as a springboard

It's not tiny, it's huge. Well done and thank you for sharing your good news with us. 🥳

Brilliant - congratulations !

I know how much this means as I re-trained for a new career then had to take four years out when my son was 8 due to his SEN - I went back last year and this week I also got a promotion and a pay rise. Phew!! Still got it 🤣

I love this - congrats OP! So many women like you are quietly doing their thing in the background and don't get the recognition or pay they deserve, so it is fantastic that you got both! It must feel great to have that validation. Well done you!

That's lovely, congratulations!
