Wow that’s awful, so sorry to hear that!
I don’t see any reason to tell the company at this stage unless you’re planning on not joining, in which case it doesn’t matter. No chance they rescind the offer though. That would be shocking.
What is the reason you’re thinking of informing them? Are you just trying to understand the implications and benefits? There are ways to learn about the benefits without disclosing the illness.
^ seconded. Please do not disclose, and once you start you should utilize any of the benefits you need. So sorry you’re dealing with this, wishing you all the best.
Don’t tell. Take advantage of the insurance and all the benefits to the fullest. Take care of yourself above all else and I hope you recover fully. God bless you.
Be "selfish," as you put it. Join full time and use your employee benefits package as much as you need. You've earned it. Ask HR for detailed policy documents on sick days, short term disability, long-term disability, etc. The insurance is some of the best you can get through a US employer. If you find that symptoms and/or medical appointments are interfering with your ability to do work duties, you'll want to understand what options you can take for your health and also for lower intensity casework (e.g., flex capacity, internal opportunities, etc.)
So sorry to hear. I would not disclose the information.
You will want to check whether there is a waiting period before you can start taking disability leave with pay. This probably differs across firms; for example, at Deloitte, you need to be here for one year before you’re eligible for this benefit.
One of the advertised perks of working at BCG is the insurance, there is 0 wrong with joining and taking full advantage of the benefits offered to employees.
Agree with everyone else. Don’t tell them the reason. You can get the info without telling them. The insurance is great. Don’t feel guilty about using it to the fullest extent in your time of need.
Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance are all in place immediately. Search time benefit (aka “transition”) is only available after 12 months.
