Crossroads in Career

Hello All,

I want to start by saying how thankful I am to this community for all the advice that has been provided on this site. At this stage of my career, I am currently undergoing a serious career and personal transitions which I will summarize below:

  • Had to leave work to take a medical leave to care for family member within last month.

  • Looking to resume GMAT studying with aim of taking test mid next month

Given that I have a little over 5 years of M&A experience, I was wondering what advice anyone has as I currently unemployed but am looking to re-enter the workforce in the very near future?

Thanks,
JBanksohn
