Current project is very chill and management likes me/gives good reviews but I’m not challenged and do not lead others. I’ve considered switching projects to go up early (SC year2). I am six weeks pregnant, first pregnancy at 33. The other reason I wonder about going up early is that I’m not sure I want to be going up during year3 after being out on maternity leave and life drastically changing. I started my professional career late so feel like I’m playing catch-up too, any advice? Thanks!

I switched projects while ~16 weeks pregnant. Timing was ideal because I was past the first terrible wave of nausea/fatigue (6-13 weeks for me) and had about 2 months of second trimester glow to do good work before I started heading downhill physically again. I went up for Manager as an SC 2 and was promoted while out on mat leave, so it worked beautifully. That said, the whole thing was a very risky trade. I blew a bridge with my former project and I was lucky to have (a) landed such a great fit second gig and (b) felt energetic enough to perform as well as I did on a high visibility project.

This is helpful thanks! How did you find it coming back from maternity leave at a new level?

New manager + new mom was (and is) the most horrendously difficult thing I have ever done. Even with a >30% raise, on bad days I still want my old job back. Of course, if I hadn’t gotten promoted, I would also be annoyed. 😂

Is it a stretch to buy a $900k house with about $180k income? The conventional metrics would say yes, but our budget works. We figured about $4000/m for PITI, $3000 for non-housing expenses, and $2000 for savings/investing. No debt and $50k in savings. We have about $200k for the down payment. Am I missing anything here or is this actually doable?

Is maxing out your HSA worth it? I’d rather keep the cash than have it be stuck for use only on medical expenses. I’m entering my late 20s so not sure it’s worth contributing. Are the tax benefits worth it?

Resigned after dealing with a difficult supervisor for 3 years and was direct in my letter that it was best for the org to have a functioning relationship at my level. I was professional and dedicated even after I left, returning some co. Items, and a borrowed book I found, etc. A mo. ago, HR emailed me about a reimbursement. I’ve never received it. I asked for clarification 3 times, ghosted. I’m getting annoyed, but want a written response as discrimination has been an issue. Advice?

30 yrs old. My 401k doesn't have many great low-cost options - mostly pricey mutual funds. Reasonable to put most, if not all of it, in a S&P 500 index fund? Of course, as I get older, I will diversify further and expand into bonds.

I don’t want to throw a safe job away if the risk is to high…the offer is to start in 11/2022. Would you do it? Or would you stay in the safe positions and wait?Accenture
