Before you decide to return to your previous workplace, take a few factors into account.

Planning for a career is natural, but predicting the future is impossible, especially when it comes to returning to a former job. It's not uncommon for someone to resign from a position and later be presented with the opportunity to return - known as a "boomerang employee." This trend is thought to stem from limited job opportunities and talent.

Co-author of How Will You Measure Your Life?, Karen Dillon, believes that boomerang employees are beneficial to both the employee and the company. If you choose to return, it's a sign that the company wants you back. However, before deciding to return to your old office, there are several factors to consider.

Review the reasons for resigning

Everyone has a strong reason to resign. Review your reasons when you made the decision to resign from your old office. If it is because of personal reasons or bad habits of colleagues and superiors that you cannot tolerate, then returning to work with them is something you don't need to do.

If you feel that you are bored at the moment and there are no promising career prospects, don't hesitate to do research or ask HRD about the latest situation.

Analysis with career goals

Returning to the old office is probably almost never in anyone's career plans. However, if this happens you need to analyze it specifically. For example, are your positions and career opportunities in line with your targets?

Don’t forget about yourself

Apart from career development and office situation, there are a number of things that need to be taken into consideration. Forbes in its article wrote that it is important for someone before deciding to become a boomerang employee to evaluate various things related to their personality.

Such as defining your purpose at work, company culture , and quality of life such as work life balance and work experience that you will gain in the future.
