I just realized that September holds some pretty big career milestones for me.
Many many years ago, I left a large company I had been with for nearly 10 years to join a small startup. I went from working alongside a huge team of HR peeps to becoming the company’s first and only HR person. I had the opportunity to build the HR program from the ground up.
Then, nearly 10 years ago, I started my career services business as a side gig, simply to help people get jobs and make a little extra money. Eventually, it took off and surpassed my corporate career (financially, in terms of growth, and flexibility).
Five years ago this September, my maternity leave ended, and I made the decision not to return to corporate America.
I’m so grateful I took each leap, from big corporate America to a small business and, eventually, entrepreneurship.
It’s kind of crazy that so many of my biggest career milestones happened in September.
Oh, and my birthday is in Sept.
