Awesome! Change is change even when it is good. It can feel a little overwhelming. I've owned my own business as a consultant for the last seven years. Part-time at that. I was taking care of some crazy family issues, including care-giving.
Now, I'm looking for a full-time job again in my industry. I thought I would be at a major disadvantage given my part-time work.. Turns out, my past experience DOES impress hiring managers AND PMs are in such high demand, recruiters are having a hard time filling positions.
This is not at all what I expected. Last year, not much was happening. Now, I have interviews with some big, well-known companies, who also have great reputations for their work culture. I did not expect this at all.
My point is, this is so amazing that I am honestly a bit overwhelmed. In a really, really good way. But the body does often does not completely understand when stress is good stress. I can still wear us out.
So, in addition to being so thankful and excited, I am tempering these feelings with staying calm about all of it, which is not easy for me lol.
Congrats again! :)
