If you got a job offer and were under 12 weeks pregnant, would you say anything? I’m not pregnant (or currently employed haha) but i just did ivf and am considering doing my transfer next month, so thinking ahead. I know to ask about their leave policy. Also assuming if it’s freelance you don’t bother telling them at all unless if conflicts with your due date.

Don’t say anything until you have a job offer in writing. And even then, negotiate your mat leave if you’ll be there under a year before giving birth bc so many agencies have arbitrarily decided you have to be there for a year before you qualify for leave. (They can choose to give you mat leave even if you don’t “qualify” or they can change their policy to offer mat leave to anyone who needs it.)

For sure. The agency that laid me off had an awful policy where it was two weeks parental leave (after a year of service) and then short term disability for the birthing parent based on tenure. So that would be like three weeks if you had been there a year FUCK NO. I had been there a bit so was going to try to squeeze another baby out but then covid happened and they laid me off. I’m just Wondering if I got an offer and was ten weeks and knew their policy if I need to say anything at all.

I was in this exact situation. I started freelancing for an agency in December (years ago) who told me they would convert me in the new year so I started IVF. I was renewed January, February, March (got pregnant), and April. In May I gave them an ultimatum (because my husband also worked for himself and we needed health insurance and maternity leave...though I didn’t tell them this). By time they converted me I was 12 weeks along. Never said a word. None of their business.

Any advice on how to pick the best company for me when offered a position from more than 1 company?

I compared benefits, pros/cons, compared them on Glassdoor, questioned them about growth opportunities, asked about their culture.....anything I am missing? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
