Congratulations, on your new bundle of joy!
Coach
First off, congrats! I don’t think you have to share upfront—people change roles all the time with life shifts. That said, a company’s reaction can be really telling about culture. If you do mention it, it might be a litmus test worth running.
Thank you! I'm not sure I will tell, I think it would influence the hiring choice anyway.
You don’t need to mention it during interviews. Taking paternity leave is a normal benefit, and most employers expect life events happen. Focus on your skills and fit, and plan your leave with your manager after joining.
