Question. In interviews, should you NOT mention you are a mother. I’m getting mixed advice.

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.

Interviewed for 2 jobs I am highly interested in. One offered the job already, but the other one hasn’t made a decision yet but should this week. I have until tomorrow to accept the offer but would like to work for the other company if the compensation package is better. Any advice? I don’t want to accept and then have to cancel, but there’s no guarantee the other job will hire me either. 😩

I have attended an interview last week which had both Technical and Manager Round. The next day, I got mail from a HR to upload the documents in iBegin portal and then the documents were 'Verified' later. Even after 4 days the status in iBegin portal still says as "Candidate registered against job". I am not getting any response from the HR about the current status.

Does this mean that I am rejected? I am confident that I have performed well in the interview.
