Hi,

I used to work in the finance sector (ops) drawing abt 10k pm.
I left more than a year ago to take care of my child, and I am thinking of going back to the workforce next year.

Given that I have not been working for abt a year, will I still be able to ask for a salary close to my last drawn?

I am contemplating whether to take a (drastic) pay cut to take up jobs with more regular hrs, with little OT. What job options are there?

I am also considering whether to become a teacher. This is like a non U-turn option as I will be bonded for a few years, if I get in. If I want to rejoin other sectors after the bond, I may be considered "too old". I am in my 30s now.

Any good advice? Thanks.
