Hi
Since returning from maternity in 2022 my career has sky rocketed. I work for a purpose driven values based FTSE 25 and am so lucky to have had incredible experiences and sponsorship from a number of senior executives
A promotional opportunity is coming up which on paper is my dream job and an amazing increase in pay and package which would be life changing for my family
However it is super senior, so much accountability, a huge team. And when I think about it I feel excited but also anxious - really? Little old me? Aren't I out of my depth? What if in a year I am out of my depth?
I don't want to 'bench' myself but equally I don't want to be half in...
My son starts school in Sept 2025 and I already feel I hardly see him some weeks due to work, or when I'm with him doing bath and bed I'm thinking about work. But maybe that's the reality for every working mum - hard to switch the hats seamlessly every day
Advice needed!
