8 weeks pregnant. Coincidentally chatted with a recruiter about a WFH job (some occasional travel to hub city) with comp equal to what I make now.

Maybe interested, but feel like I’d be giving up...

If you are happy at work/ doing well, I would wait until after you have the baby to make the decision to leave. I hate saying this, but don’t “lean out” until you are sure it isn’t for you, if that makes sense.

I’m due next month and love the job. Understand there are others that will be easier/ Better balance for a family, but want to try to make it work first

OP I wouldn’t jump yet if you’re happy where you are. WFH roles with equal pay aren’t as hard to come by as you’d think, and you can always transition to that later in your career if you decide to do so. I almost left the firm years ago, and now I’m so glad I didn’t.

Also, for what it’s worth, FMLA and most corporate maternity leave policies require you to have been employed for a year before you can use them, so might be a good reason to stay (for now) if you like your current company’s maternity benefits.

Thanks everyone. Currently on the fast track at work, great client relationships and C suite exposure. Good maternity policy here with plenty of leave, too

I would stay for sometime to reap the benefits of the reputation you have already built and may be wfh in your current job? Starting out as a new mom and taking on a new role can be challenging. Did that when I had my first child. Burned the candle on both ends. In hindsight, I would’ve stayed in the same job to ‘cruise’ through the first year post partum as I already had relationships and a strong reputation.

Also congrats!

Why???

@PL1: That’s definitely where I’m leaning. I want a chance to make it work before assuming it won’t. I love the idea of WFH, but don’t want to compromise my professional development and engagement.
