Might be relocating to San Jose. I have a young kid and a dog; my wife and I are outdoorsy folks. Is the area family friendly? How do you like living there? We won’t know anyone—is it easy to meet people? Thanks, fam!

Check out a little area called Willow Glen in SJ or Campbell. Both are nice communities for families. Also, if you can afford it, Saratoga and Los Gatos are super nice (but obviously very pricey).

We lived on the west side of San Jose very near Campbell and it was very family friendly, and much less expensive than Los Gatos or Saratoga. But the SJ school system is below par.

What would happen if I left my current company, started at a new one, and got pregnant before 12 months of service with the new company? For reference, I know new company requires 12 months for FMLA, and STD is 3 months.

If I’m not eligible for FMLA, what would that leave situation look like? Not currently pregnant but husband and I are wanting to start trying soon, just don’t want to be in a situation where I can’t take maternity leave. TIA!

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).
