Has anyone ever taken a new job offer at 7 months pregnant or late in their pregnancy? At what point did you disclose? How did negotiations work? What did that look like with timing, health benefits and leave? Help!

Yes, I did. Received the offer and disclosed. They were super supportive and so long as I was there 30 days, I had my full medical coverage in place and 12 weeks at 100% pay. It was wonderful.

Accepted a new role at 7 months and heading out on leave in the next few weeks. Disclosed at offer when asking for details of the benefits. Negotiated for my leave to be covered and could get all the same benefits as if I were there for over a year.

Do you have an offer? If yes, that’s when you disclose and find out the benefits you’ll have access to. Most companies have a service requirement for parental leave, so you’ll want to see if they’ll waive the requirement. How they handle this negotiation will tell you a lot about their value of parents in the office.

I have a likely offer coming today so I am feeling a bit off balance about next steps. Thank you for your thoughts.

Following. Have a friend in this same position right now (different industry though)

I have not. However I did get an offer,
Disclosed that I was on my mat leave and would need the start date to be 4 weeks out. Recruiter and agency literally ghosted me, so I’m fully paranoid at this point.

Yikes. 4 weeks is nothing! That sucks. Wonder what the response would have been if “maternity” wasn’t disclosed...as in, if a man said “I need this to be my start date due to previous personal commitments” or something.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.
