Just do it and try not to worry too much (I know that’s pretty much impossible for an expecting mother). Things will change - but your life will change more than your work environment - but it’s all good in the end.

Don’t over think it - Mat leaves are really not that long. If you have specific concerns relating to your role / team talk to someone you trust who knows the context.

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

I'm not necessarily unhappy with the firm I'm at, but have started looking into in house opportunities, as I've seen some interesting openings.

Thank you in advance!
