How do I do diligence on a prospective angel?
Hello Fishes, Is it worth to take tcs onsite offer to UK for a year and it could possibly get further extended OR to join jpmc with a package of over 150% hike on my current CTC. I have been associated with tcs for almost 11yrs and my current CTC do not even match to my yrs of exp. Will it be possible to switch job in UK? Has sponsorship scenario changed after Brexit? Does Indians have a chance now to find a sponsor? Please advise. Yoe- 11yrs, tech- cloud and devops Tata Consultancy

They only checked to see that delivery went well and the otherwise left me alone. I appreciated that
If you are on FMLA for your maternity leave aren't they supposed to not have contact with you?
Agree. They should not be checking in with you. The only reason to contact you is to check if you are still coming back to work as agreed.
They said congrats and sent flowers, and then left me alone, which is what I wanted.
I don’t think this is something to hold against your supervisor. They’re just giving you space to be with your new family and not think about work
They should stay away from you so you can recover and bond with your child.
Nope, but I brought baby into the office after lunch downtown with a couple close work friends and everyone was thrilled to meet her and asked how I was doing then. I wouldn’t have expected anything more than that. A couple partners I was working with when I started my leave sent baby gifts which was very sweet and unexpected.
No, but I believe he was worried about speaking to me while on leave to avoid any work conversation boundaries while on leave.
I will add though my office threw me a nice shower and got me gifts so I felt supported.
No. Our firm does birth announcements, and I got a few congratulations but otherwise, they left me alone. I view respecting your time off while you bond with your child as a good thing.
Pro
Nope. I let my supervisor and the people I work with know when the baby came and sent some pictures then and over time, but they tried to give me space other than responding when I reached out.
No. Staff sent a gift. You think not asking how you are during mat leave makes someone a bad manager? Tough crowd.
Surprised by this. I was in the military and there people would reach out to check in on you. I've also had former bosses reach out to me when I've had a child to check in on me. I just assumed that my current boss didn't care (she barely said congrats to me when I told her about the baby).
If you are in California, it’s likely due to labor laws-your employer can’t contact you while you are on medical leave. Harsh, I know but no one wants to get sued so they play it safe.
