At what week of pregnancy did you just feel so DONE with work? I realize our office jobs aren't exactly physically difficult, but at 35 weeks pregnant, I feel like I only have 3-4 hours of good work in me a day before I need a nap and a mental reset.

I’m 31.5 weeks preg and I have started feeling this way as well. Doesn’t help that my home office is our guest bedroom...so there is a bed in the same room I’m working which makes it way too tempting.

36 weeks for sure. I WFH the last month of both of my pregnancies (pre-COVID, 2016 and 2019) because I had a lot of Braxton-Hicks contractions and was so uncomfortable. Working from the couch was great and I probably averaged 4-6 hours of productivity a day. I went early with both my kids too - 39 weeks with my first, 37 weeks with my second. Hope you go soon! Hang in there!! ❤️

37 weeks for sure! It didn’t help that I had a manager that put me on a sprint where I was at the office till 2 am 2 weeks in a row to make a client meeting (god just typing that sounds stupid). It was so physically draining and when I insisted I start wfh at 39 weeks she made me jump through hoops with HR and getting doctors notes.

Get your rest ladies! Once you have your baby, the sleepless nights add up and you want to walk into motherhood as well rested as possible!

I feel burnt out by how ruthless the tech industry in US is, but I also know I’m making much more money than people outside of tech or consulting.

How do you adjust your WLB?
I’m so burnt out that I wish I could yell at people who were not kind or supportive to me, but those people often unfortunately were in position of power.
I don’t like unkindness, but my anger is just very bottled up…

But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!

I’m about to receive an offer from a different company at 100-115k. Would much rather work at the BB (better company/position). Is it even worth me bringing this offer to use as leverage, or is the salary discrepancy too much?
