I'll keep this simple. Let's say I work in a corporate environment with teams, benefits, shareholders, supervisors, etc. Everyone likes me, they like my work, my boss is constantly impressed with my work, work ethics, and results. And most importanly, I love the job. Now let's say an even better opportunity comes along and I decide to resign from the corporation on excellent terms. I head off and follow my dream but then it eventually doesn't work out. Maybe two years later, there's nothing left. Either the company takes a dive or I just wasn't cut out for that dream role. What are the odds of being able to go back to my old corporate job?
