I enjoy the company I currently am at, and really like what I am doing overall. I don’t think I would make any change now. If you would have asked me that 10-15 years ago, probably would have been a different answer. But now that I’ve been in it so long, it would be really hard for me to even want to change.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
