Sorry to xpost: would you take a 20k pay cut to move to a HCOL city for a job you think you might like and enjoy?

In terms of maternity leave, has anyone experienced giving birth earlier than their EDD and having to confirm with your manager and MetLife regarding an accurate timeline of when you are starting maternity leave?

But due to my high blood pressure and generally being high risk I may have the baby even earlier. Thanks!
