Do you wear your engagement ring or wedding band to job interviews? Was always told not to as a woman, but not sure if that’s still the case. In my late 20s if that affects any biases.

I’ve never heard of this before. If a place isn’t going to hire you because you’re married, you don’t want to work there anyway.

Wear it. Remember, you're trying to assess if they are a good fit for YOU. If they're not family friendly, then you don't want to work there.

I was engaged in my early 20s and felt really self conscious about it because I knew I was young. Now in my late 30s I wouldn’t even think twice about it. I interview a lot of candidates and I’ve never noticed or never looked. Never thought about it with respect to anyone I was interviewing.

I used to work in a small firm and while discussing whether to promote somebody, the partner brought up her age, how long she had been married, and said we need to think about how she's going to want kids soon and go on maternity leave. Wear the ring, you don't want to work for a company that will make biased decisions against your growth.

I was advised by a career coach to remove my engagement ring for interviews. That felt wrong to me because by the time I’d be reporting for work, I would be married and it seemed like something not to be hidden. As others have said, it may highlight something important about the environment. (Also, someone at the same time advised me that it could also go the other way, where I might be viewed as committed and putting down roots.)

I am wondering which drafting software everyone uses or likes. For years I have used WealthCounsel and more recently ElderCounsel, but I find them too expensive. I also do a good number of Special Needs Trusts as part of my practice. Any advice on a more reasonably priced drafting software?
