Just as a counter-point: I took off 3 years to stay home with kids.

I recently started a new position after very little time looking with a >80k raise.

I've felt the same pressure to stay current. But, turns out it's all about how you can frame what you bring to the table vs what you can't.

More and more I think this is true. But with a huge caveat that you actually have to be able to bring something to the table and know well what it is.
