I got an offer letter from a company working as a WFH 1099 contractor for 2 years then to hire if everything goes well. It’s 40 hours a week + I currently have a toddler who goes to daycare full time, but we were planning on trying for a second child within the next year. Anyone else pregnant during a similar experience? I’ve heard of companies letting contractors go in the past since they aren’t an employee and I’m nervous about that.

A 1099 contractor doing full time work and the same tasks as what you would be doing as an employee? You should be classified as an employee then.

Second this.

Yup. A company can’t just call you an IC because they want to avoid taxes/benefits. It sounds like this role will meet the qualifications to classify you as an employee, OP

Associates, how did you balance your morning sickness and fatigue in early pregnancy with work? Thankfully I’m still WFH, but worried about receiving insane turnarounds that require me to stay up late/all night and the effect it might have on the baby. I’m past my hours for the year and feel like I should be able to say no, but the team I’m on has a tendency to push past no’s.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
