It was once assumed that women who took a ride on the mommy-track would have trouble re-entering the financial services workforce, especially in investment banking. The New York Times notes a number of new executive MBA programs that are making that transition easier. The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth's first class in its Back in Business program had a median age of 47 and an average of eight years out of the work force; 35 of 41 students were women. And more than half have found career-track work--and pay--at the likes of Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. My sense is that the stigma of mommy-hood has faded but is not completely gone. Hopefully, more recruiters will discover these programs.
