When would be an appropriate time during an interview process (if ever) to ask about a firm’s maternity leave policy? Looking to lateral, not pregnant, but hoping to get pregnant in the next few months.

Is there someone in HR you can ask? Way less awkward than asking someone who you interview with. Also, if it is a large enough firm, can you crowdsource through asking here or otherwise online? I want to say it shouldn’t be held against you but I’ve seen way too many men make decisions that are wrong but hard to prove driven by pregnancy; or fear of pregnancy etc., and candidly, I just don’t trust most of my brethren not to take it into account in hiring.

Yes but I also like the advice on below to wait until you get an offer.

When an offer is extended, ask HR about all of the benefits. Lump the parental leave questions with healthcare, 401K, and commuter benefits.

Personally, I wouldn’t worry about it unless/until you get an offer.
