I recently took off two years to have a baby and then returned after a year to teaching university. (finishing my doctorate)
How well will university teaching factor in to international teaching scene?
Returning to the game
Response
Zero, lecturing in tertiary education doesnt have any marketable value in IE. The doctorate matters in leadership but not significantly more than a Masters as a classroom IT. You will also find recruiters/leadership who have ego issues with IT candidates they perceive as having stronger academic qualifications than they have.
You can leave IE for about a year and do anything, longer than that and you start dating yourself and your resume.
