Any advice for how to give notice after returning from maternity leave? I recently received an offer for an in-house position with hours that will be much better for my family than my current big law job. I also got the sense that my current employer was going to push me out upon my return from maternity leave so it’s a blessing to get a new role, but I don’t want to leave a bad taste in people’s mouths.

Check your firm's policies and make sure that they don't have a policy requiring you to work for a certain period of time after you return from mat leave.

Big law to in-house is considered a “good exit,” so there is unlikely to be any issue. Post-mat leave is a common exit point. Tell everyone you care to hear from you on the same day. Word travels super fast. Exit in a way that you can come back if you want to some day. I had a friend leave for a few years in-house who came back when her kids were in school.

Congrats!! In a very similar position and hoping to find a new role before I go back in August; really think they’re looking to push me out as soon as they can. Happy for you!

I saw on the Internet that there’s a guy you can hire to come give a town-crier-style announcement that you’re leaving, complete with revolution-era diction and attire.

But seriously, I don’t think anybody cares. The main thing is to not leave bombs in cases you’re leaving behind.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Hello,

Long time fishbowl lurker, first time poster.

I work in Healthcare consulting (8 yoe). I'm incredibly passionate about Healthcare and have thought a lot about how to make meaningful changes that keep people healthy and how it can be affordable and accessible to all. I know Google has been operating in the Healthcare market. Anyone here open to connect so I can learn more about its current activities/future plans? I'd like to see if there's a role that I'd be a good fit for.

Thank you!

Hey Fishes,

I have offers from EXL Services(consultant II) and UST Global(lead II software eng) for data engineering role. They are offering almost same package. Which company should i go with?? TIA.

A few months ago I posted my resume here and a couple people said it was too long, 4 pages. I took a step back and was about to change it. Reading it I realized, those four pages truly captured ME and my experience.

Not even 2 weeks after I decided to trust myself, I was offered a Director position in the field I love!

I share that to say, take time to learn yourself. So you know when to take the advice of others or when to TRUST YOU!
