Guy asked to switch seats with me to sit next to his aging mother and I caved because it’s just an hour flight. I did think hard about it for a bit though.

Why did you have to think hard?

Because I had a window seat and the switch was for middle seat. Also, in a suit so not the most comfortable.

OP, no need to think twice about it (or even rationalize), you did a good thing that many others would not.

Good job

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?
