We had been planning to try for a baby in January. Obviously “plan” is a loose term but we were lucky enough to get pregnant the first month trying last time (I know it doesn’t mean it will work that way for the second). I am starting a new job next week and they require one year for Mat leave. That means we would need to push our schedule of trying. Should we? Does anyone know of v50 firms waiting that requirement? If we were lucky enough to get pregnant on first try, I would be there 11 months

I’d normally say live your life and don’t put off your family planning for a job, but putting things off 1 month does not seem like a big deal

Yeah just wait 1 month. It’s de minimus and avoids a bunch of potentially awkward convos.

I’m starting at a new firm next week too! They don’t offer mat leave so I’m literally trying now lol. It took me a while last time and my baby is 15 months and I really want them to be close in age. Good luck to both of us 🙏

When I changed jobs, the disability insurance said it had a one year waiting period for preexisting conditions. I needed to know since I need knee replacement surgery. Check your policy to see what limitations it may have.

It’s not most firm’s choices to wait a year. Typically they have insurance policies that cover the mat leave but coverage is only triggered if you’ve been there a year! So you should definitely way. I am in the exact same boat, and plan to wait justttt to be safe.

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
