I'm based in London and work for a great US HQ'd SaaS business. I really enjoy what I sell, we have a fantastic company culture, and the pay is good. Only problem is that I'm planning to start having kids in the next couple years and my company has what in the UK is a bad mat leave policy - 12 weeks. They don't seem to be changing this soon. I know Salesforce provides 12 months full pay for example - financially this would be worth >£100k to me in the long term. Any advice from other sellers?

I'd start looking now so you'll have time to settle in at a new place. My maternity leave was worse - only 8 weeks - and it was awful having to go back so soon. If I had it to do over again, I'd have definitely looked for a better package elsewhere before I had my daughter. Good luck!

I think it's worth talking to your current place before making a move. If you're doing well, hitting targets etc they'd rather retain you then lose you. If they don't budge, then I agree with M1 - start looking now rather than closer to the time so you can get settled in

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.
