Has anyone been on the fence about switching jobs before starting a family?

Would love to start soon but I’ve been on the fence about switching companies. My current employer has pretty solid benefits for leave and healthcare but it’s a stressful role with a lot of chaos. I originally contemplated switching companies to somewhere less stressful but am worried that I’ll be starting from zero as a new employee and may not have the same benefits. Should I just wait until after to change jobs?

I would definitely switch now as the job market is so favorable in benefits, flexibility and overall compensation. If you were to switch jobs, prioritize roles at companies with strong maternity benefits packages. For example, there are companies that offer 12 -16 weeks of fully paid maternity leave as well as IVF benefits (if you happen to need it). Also, there are several roles that are full time remote which is a great benefit for a new mom. Good luck!

Thank you! Totally agree - I’m only looking at companies with strong maternity benefits packages

You never know how long finding a new job or getting pregnant will take, so don't put one on hold for the other. It will all fall into place!

This is so true - thank you for saying this!

I've been thinking about it, but my situation is I'm the main income for the family. My wife has the medical insurance. Been looking for somewhere that's remote/hybrid. Current company has no benefits and don't acknowledge covid most of the time which is scary when you have to worry about going through something so delicate
