My last day at my current job is Wednesday and I’m not starting my new job until 10/4. My health insurance ends on midnight Wednesday. What should I do for those 10 days in between? Seems ridiculous to pay for COBRA for only 10 days.

Cobra has a 60 day retroactive period - meaning you have 60 days to elect it and if you do, it goes back to day 1.

In other words, only buy it if you get sick between now and the start of your coverage.

[you should confirm that]

HR husband gives this advice to everyone. Wait til you need it, pay, and you’re covered.

I spent like 2 months uninsured between jobs. Didnt bother with COBRA. Just try not to hurt yourself before the new stuff kicks in

You legally have 60 days to elect cobra. If anything happens during those 10 days, than fill out the paperwork. If not, don’t elect and wait it out.

Avoid activities where you could get injured and take it easy at the gym. I went two months without insurance until August this year and hoped for the best (and whatever may happen would allow retroactive cobra).

agree with this! also if you haven’t already, try to squeeze in a last min doctor appt before weds night

I once went 2 years without insurance between jobs. It was way cheaper paying out of pocket for dr visits. Unless you have underlying health issues, you’ll be fine.

I’m expecting to go on maternity leave this summer, but I hate working at my current company.

Any advice or insights?

Seen a lot of “my company is so amazing posts” continuously on LinkedIn a la “here at XYZ we give people lots of time off and it’s amazing” or even “so happy XYZ company allowed me to take maternity/paternity leave” - are folks just trying to look like team players or do employees get some sort of incentive for doing this at companies? I feel like the folks I see that work at Salesforce (for example) do this constantly and more so than other big companies.

However, I’ve potentially got a JS job offer with Anomaly (London). Do I stay and grow slowly, or do I go and get the role I want quickly?
