When is a good time to let my manager know the fact that we are expecting so that the team can plan for the time when I will be on paternity leave

At least wait until 2nd trimester

I am pretty close with my PPMDs so basically told him when we told everyone. No real planning took place until closer to arrival. I took two weeks off right away then 4 months off after my wife went back to work. I let them know that timing as soon as we decided on our approach.

Your policy should have some guidance. I think I told them like a few months out? That whole period is a blur.

Congratulations!

I’d say around 4-5 months before the due date. Don’t tell before the 2nd trimester, but don’t wait so long that they hear it through the grapevine or that everyone is scrambling to transition your project for the time you’ll be out. Keep in mind babies can come early, and/or complications can arise (e.g., your partner is placed on bed rest), and you don’t want the first anyone hears of the impending birth to be if/when that happens.

Congratulations 🍾🎉 you will need time for doc visits, likely want to avoid travel. I will tell immediate M/SM in confidence mid-way second trimester if this is a very long gig

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
