Hello all,

Need suggestions from working mammas ❤️

I am planning pregnancy in the coming year. I am in my current company for last 4 years and now I am bored of this role. Please suggest if I should switch to new company and then plan pregnancy or should stay in current company and switch once the baby is born?

Would like to know which affects the least in career.

Be in the same company. Plan pregnancy, extend maternity leave for for 6-7 months, do some courses and then switch

I think stay in same company as this doubt I also had ,you can manage things better in old company since pregnancy itself is a ride and sometimes you feel energy deprived and some days you feel little uneasy to work ,hence during this beautiful time you should focus on your health and baby's health and once your baby is born ,you will get maternity leave also and then after 3 months of your maternity leave you can hire a nanny and prepare for 2 -3 months and then look for switch because you will never ever be able to give justice to your new role if it more demanding and your impression would not be good if you will take leaves right after few months of joining .

If you switch within early pregnancy or before pregnancy, it would be a great idea. Make sure to complete 180 days from joining a new company for availing maternity benefits from new company

My perspective is stay in same company. Then later switch after 6 months. After baby is born we are in new mom phase and everything will be new. You would have stability on job side.
And not to compromise on job side, you can prepare in the 9 months of pregannacy, and 6 months maternity not extensively but consistenly daily.
If pregnancy planing takes time. Then you can do either way.
But for pregnancy early is better.
All the best!

As per experience it is really tough to change once baby is born.. change this month or next month see you enter in a permenant role if you plan from now.. you can get the results in next 6 months.. you can work for another 7 to 8 months and then take maternity leave...

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid. Or do they just pick a number, like “yeah they can get to know their kid in a few weeks and I couldn’t possibly have that attorney out for 12 weeks?” I’m at a small firm, no FMLA or state requirement. We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.
