If you have an offer for a new position, would you wait to tell them you are pregnant (and due in May) until after you accept, so you don’t jeopardize the offer? If so, how long would you wait?

I would tell them. If you don’t tell them then you set the tone for a bad relationship. If you do tell them, then you take a gamble but I would think that as attorneys they know that if they pull the offer it’s blatant discrimination and they are at risk, so they wouldn’t be scummy.

If they pull the offer, it is better off you know now. Those would be the same types of employers who give you hard time if you have to leave work to be a mom for an afternoon. So presumably you wouldn’t be happy there anyway.

How much are you planning to take off?

I’d like to take at least 90 days. Preferably 4 months, but unfortunately I don’t think that’s the norm there. I think negotiating leave and paid leave before I accept the offer is too risky, but curious for thoughts on that too.

Thanks. I should mention that I’d be leaving a firm to go in-house.

I’d definitely tell them before accepting.

Considering a Product Owner role. Any best practices of what questions to ask during an interview? First phase deals with a virtual Teams interview with the recruiter and her manager on Tuesday.

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback

Ladies, I commend all of you who are pregnant and lawyering on the daily! I am 10 weeks pregnant and haven’t been working much since I left my firm in March. I tell my husband every day “IDK how anyone is pregnant and practicing law at the same time.” After a morning in court last month I was totally out of commission for the day. If you are still working as a lawyer full time and growing a human it is something to be proud of!
