Nothing , carry on. While interviewing , potential peers put themselves on a pedestal and judge too harshly. You are better off interviewing at companies with a standardized interview process ...FAANGs. I speak from personal experience :)

I started interviewing with a company back in January but they were taking while to make a decision so I put them out of my mind. Fast forward to last week and I found out that I’m newly pregnant. Now, I was offered the job. I don’t know what to do! I hate my current job and this new company seems like a better fit. Do I tell them before I accept the role? I know it’s very early and anything could happen with this pregnancy but I’m torn. Advice would be so helpful!
