AWS cloud application architect. Had an on-site interview with AWS a few days ago and just got an email saying they want to talk to me about next steps. The role is cloud application architect but I want to ask them about the senior cloud application architect role. I have all the relevant experience for that role and feel like I’d be a better fit for that senior role. How should I approach this conversation? Is this even possible? Amazon

Yes. If you’re senior enough (and at MD, you clearly are) you can make the case for it. The 1-year mark is an arbitrary decision, and there is not one actual reason they can’t just as easily decide to give you the full leave. Tell HR you’re willing to sign any sort of retention agreement they need in order to comfortably give you the full leave. (An agreement that might say you have to pay back the extra weeks or whatever if you leave within X months of your return from mat leave.)
That’s a great idea!
Please keep us updated. I’ve had anxiety about this before and never knew what to do. Good luck!
Probably won’t ask for a while. Just at 11 weeks now.
There’s nothing to do but address your pregnancy head on with your boss and HR. Their response will let you know if this is a company worth investing in or not.
My company is really supportive of working parents but I know some are sticklers for the “policy is policy” mindset.
