Hi ladies
First time poster here... Please let me know if this isn't the right place for this type of post.
A bit of background - I've worked with the same company since I graduated uni, worked my way to senior management level with decent experience in various parts of the business with different clients. Went back 3 days a week in 2019 after having my daughter and feel like my career has stalled since then. I stuck it out as we were planning baby #2 but have unfortunately had 2 MCs. I'm now completely fed up at work so have started job hunting without success - a couple of interviews that I had positive feedback from but no offer and after the MCs I've found the rejection really difficult to deal with and feel like they set me back.
So..I'm contemplating giving up work and going to do a masters. It would be in a related field and done over 2 years (slightly longer if we are ever successful with a second baby). Financially we can make it work but I'm a bit apprehensive about it all and whether it might hinder rather than help future career prospects. I'm conscious that I'm still grieving my losses but feel like I need to change something in my life to get out of the rut. I've got a couple of months to decide so not jumping into anything rash but wondered if anyone was able to share experiences of how they've found returning to work, etc - and generally any other thoughts/advice.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
