Hello fishes, I have offers from two different companies and both are offering same amount of CTC - 18LPA (YOE: 3.2) . Company names are Pristyn Care and Xiaomi technology india pvt. ltd .
Now for Pristyn Care I won't have to move out of Gurgaon (I'm from north India). Xiaomi is calling me to Bangalore. Rest all the benefits seem similar.
In terms of learning and job security and all the aspects considered, which company should I join?
Please help me decide. Thank you!

Yes, if they like you enough and are willing to support your pregnancy, they will make an exception and grant you some form of paid leave. I negotiated one law firm offer that made an exception, offering 4 months paid. Another law firm offered nothing. What I learned from my experience is that their willingness to make an exception is an indicator of either their willingness/ability to to be supportive of women with young children when you return. They can’t rescind your offer but they can discourage you from accepting by giving you nothing you ask for. If they cannot give you paid leave for policy reasons, ask for an increase in sign-on bonus. I think the way to sound reasonable is you need to leverage one offer against the other (e.g., “This firm is offering me x. Can you match? If not, can you do y.”)
Agree with all this. Good luck OP!

Just provide an alternative. I got my offer while I was 7 months pregnant. I really wanted to take my mat leave at my old firm, which provided very generous leave. Had a try to ask the new firm to wait and they said yes.
One consideration you might not be aware of. When I switched firms, my new extended disability policy had a 1 year waiting period for any preexisting conditions. Since disability is often used to cover portions of maternity leave, you may need to factor this in.
Thank you! Very helpful!
How did you disclose your pregnancy? Getting close to the offer stage and it’s starting to really stress me out.
