Feel pretty close to getting an offer I’m excited about & JUST found out I’m pregnant (my 2nd). Any advice on how to negotiate my role in a way that better accommodates pregnancy/motherhood? (Cont...)

I’m done apologizing for being a mom in this biz and want to be somewhere that supports me for it (which this place could hopefully be).
Also- from what I have found online my current job offers a better mat leave than the new place by about 2 months.

Negotiate the extra leave if the can’t give your the full two months compromise somewhere in the middle. Also negotiate a graduated return schedule with % from home vs office (at 100% pay)., then select a day where you’re 100% from home moving forward. If there are mobility tools (phone, iPads, lighter computers) negotiate that upfront.

Get the offer and then negotiate. Let them know that you are excited about the new job but having access to these benefits are an imperative. Also make sure you ask about if they have a waiting period. Most places (and FMLA) require that you are at the company for a year before you qualify for full leave benefits (bullshit)

It didn’t work out. Unfortunately they couldn’t flex on their mat leave policy, which wouldn’t activate until 12 mo into the job.

I’d love to hear what you ended up doing and how it went.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
