I never gone backwards and not had an opportunity present itself that didn't turn out to be a better gig than the pre backwards step.There's no shame in having a couple of "lesser" roles on your resume, it show employers you are resilient and prepared to accept challenges as they present. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
