Re-entering tech after 2 year break & prepping for motherhood
I worked for a top tech company that was wonderful until 2022 when the crash happened & seemingly overnight the culture became toxic & competitive. 10 years work experience. I stuck with it until 2024, but burned out so hard that I left for two years and started my own small business.
My husband is an MLE for a top tech company and we have lived on his salary, but it’s not enough to buy a house in a good school district in the Bay Area & as we prepare to become parents in the next two years I want to go back to work to bring in more income and re-establish myself prior to motherhood.
Curious what companies you recommend for moms, WLB, possibly remote, but still great culture with competent peers. I was the highest earner prior to my break, but I’m OK taking a pay cut for a better culture fit and not a toxic performance-driven culture.
As an aside, I am feeling major impostor syndrome after two years off even though I had a great career prior and I’m overwhelmed with interview prep (I’m a Product manager). Are there any resources or courses you recommend to get my brain turned back on?
Thank you so much!!
