For those of you working from home, do you know whether your coworkers will be throwing a baby shower for you? I feel like without being visibly pregnant to most people (since we are not in the office), I feel like I’m going to miss out on having one which is kind of a bummer since I’ve always gotten gifts for others.

I’m a bit late to the party—formerly pregnant lawyer here. I didn’t get a shower but did get some thoughtful gifts from some of my coworkers. Some are friends and some work directly with me and wanted to get something for the baby. It was very sweet and unexpected. They asked for my registry, so I guess it helps to have a registry.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
