Considering my next professional jump and I’m torn between going to an agency or going to a tech startup. I plan on getting pregnant while working at the next job. Should I stick to the advertising...

I actually think tech might have better maternity leave benefits. I would check that out to weigh out your options as well. There’s a few agency places that have decent leave benefits, but overall I think tech is better there. If it’s tech contract work though, I’d stick with agency for the job security/leave personally

Should I stick to agency life while I still have the energy and time and wait to jump in-house after the babe is born? Or should I go tech now and come back agency-side later? Will going in house now will hurt agency job prospects later?

In my experience better leave is outside of the agency. I’m in tech and moving to media from agency. My first leave was 6 months 100% paid (4 months + 2 weeks vacation) and my current leave is 16 weeks 100% paid and then I negotiated a couple WFH days to manage two under two. My old agency offered 8 weeks after 2 years (mind you this was 6 years ago but still that’s shit)

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
