Upon offer

Wait till you get your offer. There’s nothing wrong with taking time off as long as you give proper notice, so there’s no reason to mention it before you’ve been offered the job. Good luck!

If it looks like it’s getting ‘warm’ I tell them. Generally they appreciate transparency, but it’s also something that shouldn’t be that big of a deal. We all have the right to go on vacation!

If it’s a way off your start date and you have the vacation time as part of your new deal, why say anything? Either way, it’s better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission

If you’re concerned about it then mention it when you’re negotiating. It’s just an FYI. It shouldn’t be a problem

Upon offer.

I tell everyone I meet about my next vacation. That way, if any of them work in advertising and one day hire me there’s no saying I didn’t mention it

Thank you all!!

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?
