Hi. I recently found out that I am 2 months pregnant and just joined a new company. Practically yesterday.

The company's probation is 3 months and as per maternity policy I need to work for atlst 84 days.

Should I be transparent and tell about my pregnancy now or shall I wait till my probation completes?

I am worried that this might effect my employment with the new company. Kindly advise on how to proceed.

That's fine, you can inform them in the 6th or 7th month. Don't worry about this have a happy pregnancy.

First you need to inform your reporting manger and than after a discussion you can convey the same to reporting HR

I think you should be transparent and tell them. These things are not in someone's hands. I am sure they will understand and help you out.

Though may be you can wait for few days till you get comfortable about things in the new company but definitely not 3 months.

like

Yeah, to the manager. The manager will be supervising you for the whole year. HR will probably just forget.

By the time your probation completes, you would be 5 month pregnant. Depending on your physique that time you can choose to conceal pregnancy until probation.

Not sure how your organization would react if you disclose pregnancy now. I understand large corporates like google, Microsoft are very understanding..

Yes it is..

You should inform them immediately so that they can assign you short term project

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).

Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
