Tell us about a time your life changed for the better
We all have small and big moments that have made a difference in our lives. From taking a big risk to stumbling upon something/someone who changed your life in retrospect, what’s something that has changed your life for the better?
This is hard to narrow down. Along with joining the FGB Community and meeting the most amazing women and meeting someone (now husband) that I have a huge crush on...
I’d say being able to have moved around the country over the last decade has changed my life for the better. It’s opened my mind in ways I never would’ve known. Each move (3) was both terrifying yet liberating.
Okay FGB’ers, your turn!

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue .
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring . I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best . im praying to god , to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance . I’m currently still going through the interview process . Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals . Has anyone been in this situation before ?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc

Hi,
I wanted to get some other perspectives from anyone that has become a mum and feels like they need to/want to take a step back in their career? I don't know if my experience is unusual or if this is a common thing that happens. I have a very limited village, so any illness or issue means I have to take time off work etc. and progressing in my career in a high stress environment doesn't feel sustainable alongside the home life pressure. Is anyone willing to share their experiences?
