I ALWAYS mention that I am a mom and fit in I’m in a same sex marriage. Don’t want to end up somewhere not supportive of either.

I’ve learned to always mention it - helps filter out places I would never want to work. And yes, I’ve definitely lost opportunities over it.

Nope! Don’t mention it.

I have the same opinion as CD above. I would mention it as I don’t want to work somewhere that doesn’t value the fact that I have a family.

I don’t mention it until I’m pretty far along in the process. I personally have trouble separating who I am as a human and who I am as a worker. I’m stronger when I don’t compartmentalize.

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

Interviewing question: for anecdotal “tell me abt a time when..”, & similar questions - are you allowed to recycle stories from your undergrad years or do they only look for post grad/work stuff? Afraid some of the stories that sounded okay at undergrad recruiting might now come across as a bit “lightweight” in this context...like would they eye roll if we start talking about that one time we did a science competition sophomore year of college (even though it taught an important lesson)..etc.🤔
