Hey folks,

I’m planning to switch jobs but I’m a bit confused about the timing. I’m getting married in February next year.
1: Try to switch before October, because after that I’ll be busy with wedding prep and probably won’t have much time.

2: Wait until after marriage and also after my appraisal/hike in March.

One concern I have is that some companies might hesitate to hire someone who just got married (not sure how true that is, but I've heard it happens). What would you suggest?

If you’re already considering a switch and can realistically prepare now, I’d lean toward starting the process before marriage rather than postponing it. The first few months after marriage usually come with a lot of adjustment, new responsibilities, and less predictable time for interview prep.

My suggestion: start preparing now, take interviews, and secure offers if the right opportunity comes along.

Also, your marital status or marriage plans are personal information - you’re not obligated to bring that into the hiring conversation unless there’s a practical scheduling reason.

I'm a bit confused, so if I get an offer in July or August, I'll be released from my current company in October or November. My wedding is in February, and I'm not sure if I can handle a new job with all the wedding prep. Plus, will I even get time off or work from home during marriage🤔

Why would you tell that you just got married

That's a good question I didn't think of this, but should I tell them I'm married or not, without saying when? Also, when would be the best time to switch after getting married?

How do you get caught up (or even ahead) when you’re always behind? Assume that all things that can be offloaded have been offloaded. I cannot take one more all nighter trying to get a motion drafted two days before the deadline because I couldn’t get to it earlier.

Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
