Hello Sharks, I recently gave interview of Tiger Analytics and after all successful technical discussion, they were offering me Senior analytics - data Science role for 15.5 fixed + 2L jb, considering my current yoe 4.3 and in data science relevant is not much(consider it 1.5+) but my cctc is 14(13fixed+1 variable), I denied to accept this offer. Should I reconsider that?

The recruiter should ask what your timeline for hiring is, and if they don’t I would let them know that I can’t start before April. If they ask why I’d say “committed to a project that end then”. The project is being a mother.
Big fan of this advice. I actually used that once, but wasn’t sure if asking for a start date that far down the road is typical at all.
I just hired a woman looking for a new career move while on maternity leave. She was open about needing something else and why and it was an amazing decision. She fucking rules. I’m a woman and mom so maybe that helped!
Love to hear this!
My mom was interviewing while 4-5 months pregnant. She got the job and was like, "btw..." Lol. There are anti-discrimination laws in place, for stuff like this. Be an invaluable asset to the team and it'll work out.
(She was pregnant recently. No, I'm not 16... Yes, I know.)
Do you want to have a job you need to hide this from? Say the truth with your chest, perhaps with a baby attached to it, and give the right job the opportunity to rise to the occasion. Remember you’re interviewing them, too.
I want to believe that this is good advice, but I’ve heard nothing but the opposite when it comes to interviewing and motherhood. Agreed, it’d be nice to find a shop that had other parents and valued the time commitment that comes with that. But I’m not confident that I can just admit to being on maternity leave currently and job searching. Would the new employer not wonder if I’d do the same thing to them if I had a second kid? Take the benefits and bounce?
