3 months pregnant and was laid off. I’ve been interviewing and believe I’m going to get an offer. Advice on when to reveal I’m pregnant and how to negotiate parental leave? I know many companies state you need to have worked for them for at least 12 mos to receive parental leave benefits. Thank you!

You should probably tell them soon-ish after you start (but not before). Re mat leave, not sure how it works in the states

Congratulations!
It really depends on the company! Fishbowl has a podcast that talked about that, someone sharing a similar story. Maybe it will bring comfort hearing someone else going through it!

Check the mat leave policy. Most if not all require 6 months with the company.

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

I received an offer and asked about their parental leave. I don't plan on having kids anytime soon but would like to in 3-5 years and hope I can start a long-term career here. Was that a weird question to ask? The company initially responded that they are rewriting it so I didn't get much detail.

HELP! Company wants me to move to the US for a Remote role - Is this reasonable? Hi, I'm moving through the stages for a Remote US role as a Canadian candidate. They mentioned if I were to be offered, expectation is I'd move to the US. I find this odd as the role is Remote but guess it's legal purposes. Good thing is, this comp also has a Canandian office BUT they said bringing me on through the Canadian office is not smth they do.

Is this reasonable?? How can i best negotiate? Thx!
