In today’s world, the idea of having one career for life is quickly becoming outdated. Whether it’s to raise a family, travel, or pursue new passions, career breaks are more common than ever. However, returning to work after a long break can feel daunting, especially when transitioning into a new field. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure of how to take the next step, you’re not alone.
