We want to start trying for a baby in the next few months but I also am looking for a new job. I know that FMLA eligibility requires you to have worked at least a year at your current job. I’m wondering if I should hold off switching jobs to stay eligible at my current position or just switch jobs and still have a baby at the new place but not be eligible for FMLA. Need advice.

I believe FMLA is mostly related to job protection (making sure you won’t get fired if you take leave). In the corporate world, that’s something that most people are probably not super worried about. Paid maternity leave is separate and depends on individual company policies. I started a new job 5 months pregnant and I’m eligible to take paid leave immediately

I think if you find the right company, it shouldn’t be a major concern. Any company that you think would fire you while on leave or because you’re pregnant probably doesn’t have a good culture and you shouldn’t work there anyway…my 2 cents!

I haven’t been at my company for a year and can still do FMLA. It isn’t a necessary requirement for it, so I would check with your new job how mat leave would work :) hope that helps!

I am interviewing with a company. Last week, one week after the interview, my hiring manager reached out to me with a couple of clarifying questions.

I haven’t heard back since and yesterday I reached out to the recruiter to get some status updates. She has not responded. It’s already Friday. Is it a bad sign or am I overthinking?
