A Millennial Working Mom with A Side of Everything

I came back to work after a 5-year maternity break in 2016.
The first year I was ecstatic to be back, happily adjusting and restarting my career.
Two years into the job, I became less and less enthusiastic about the work I was doing.

Looking back, there were obvious signs I kept overlooking at the time.
And you might be, too, right now.

Here are the 3 biggest signs:
1. No longer feeling you are adding values.
Either the job is not challenging enough, or you simply became disinterested.
Even after addressing your concerns, you are not given stretch assignments.
Or, the new tasks given are not adding to your desired growth.

2. Unable to see career growth potential in the existing path.
The current next level is not exciting to you.
The idea of doing similar work for the next 5-10 years seems dreadful when your performance review comes around.
Yet you can’t identify an opportunity in the same field that would excite you.

3. Feel stuck and keep talking about it with your loved ones.
You just can’t shake off the idea of doing something different.
Almost every conversation with your spouse or trusted friends and family likely ends up on this topic of feeling restless and stuck.
Although they might give you different perspectives, it always comes back to you to decide what’s next.

If you are experiencing the same, it’s worth taking the next step.
