Any advice on how to bring up the topic of being pregnant? After an offer has been made?

It's my first pregnancy I been interviewing for months in different companies making it to the final round but haven't landed the gig. This job market is crazy.

I'm on a new interview process 7 months pregnant but feeling very discouraged and not transparent. Trying to figure out how to navigate these feelings and making sure I secure a future. 😓

Once you have the offer you and want to accept it you do so and then tell HR that you are due x date so you can jointly decide how that impacts a start date decision.

Yes, they will be bummed that you can’t start sooner or whatever, but just be positive and not apologetic- you have done nothing wrong. If you say anything at all, perhaps just note that you’ve had interview processes drag on for months so until you had an offer you had no idea of the actual timing implications.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.
