I’m expecting to go on maternity leave this summer, but I hate working at my current company. The work is uninspiring, the people are mediocre and I feel myself torn between quitting and finding a new job, but possibly losing paid leave, OR, sticking it out and taking mat leave then quitting. Any advice or insights?

I'd say stick it out. Take the maternity leave and all the ptos and then leave

Stick it out ofcos. You don't know what's gonna change or what life will be like after. Not sure if I'd want to deal with a new job and a toddler at the same time. But I'm speaking as a man so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
