I have been on a maternity break for a year. As I'm gearing up to join back, my organization is going through a transition. It's not very steady and I've started looking for new opportunities. Do I tell in my interviews upfront that I've been on a maternity break? Or do I wait for them to bring it up?

I would say exactly what you said here. It’s not uncommon. I’ve witnessed people come back from maternity & paternity leave to give notice. New child new beginnings. Others want to stay since they know the company. Do what’s best for you & def ask. Why is this role open?

I’ve recently been interested in the idea of moving from Canada(Toronto) to the US(California) with McCann. I am wondering if this is common & if anyone else has made move before with tips?

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?
