We live near a large Bright Horizons center, so they were able to accommodate us with a couple months’ notice. At a minimum though, you should visit a few places ~4 months out and decide which one you will go with. We didn’t have any better options nearby, and liked that the BH had longer hours (until 6:30), lots of staff, and daily updates and photos via app. It comes down to convenience and trusting the caregivers will be attentive enough to your baby.

While you are pregnant. Waitlists were ~1year, so we ended up going the nanny route just because anything else was going to be crazy inconvenient.

My husband visites options when I was pregnant, we were on the waitlist for 3 but honestly we pushed mostly for Bright Horizons because of convenience. They have several locations so you can put several options - we started w a location a bit farther and we moved to our preferred choice after 3 months

I cleared 2 rounds of interviews with CGI. The very next day someone from the management team called me up and very readily agreed with me for my expected salary. He said he shall quickly ask the HR team to process my offer letter.

And it's been a week since I haven't heard from anyone. Neither CGI asked me docs nor any HR called me.

What shall I do now? I am currently under the Notice Period.
