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.

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?
