I am currently doing IVF. I am also interviewing next week for a tech company in NYC. It’s a job I’m very excited about and praying that it works out as it seems perfect for me. my question is what happened if you get pregnant soon after starting a job or while interviewing? I’m reading that the company is under no obligation to give you any of the parental leave benefits until 1 year. The company I am interviewing with gives 20 weeks! I’ve been with current company for 4+ years. Any advice?

Basically, just continue your life as you would. You can’t game it. Get whatever job you want and pursue pregnancy. Take it as it comes. You cannot plan around any of it.

This. You need to separate them and go for both independently, because either may not go as planned. Good luck on both counts!!!!

I’m kind of in a similar situation. I’m starting a new job and we are going to start trying soon. I hate to say it…but if you want the benefits above and beyond what they legally have to provide (12 weeks no pay I think 🤔) you have to time it right.

Basically….stop trying for a few months once you start. If you get pregnant before you need to weigh the options. Maybe you can negotiate a sign on bonus that would cover the 12 weeks with no pay

IVF can take a while. Or it can happen suddenly. I would stay with the old company to get benefits, if they’re good. If you get pregnant asap you won’t get benefits with your new company

Hi, I have a 2 part question:

I did a “meet the team” interview 2 weeks ago and now the hiring manager set up a call on Tuesday. Is it safe to assume that’s a call to extend an offer?

If that’s a reasonable assumption, could I let another company (finished interviews last Friday) know ahead of time on Monday that I’m expecting an offer in the hopes of speeding up their decision making?
