Would you ever switch jobs and accept an offer if you just found out you're pregnant?

Yes so long as you can still exercise maternity leave. Make sure you know if there is a waiting period. Some firms require you be there one year before you can have paid leave

Only if I'm able to negotiate some sort of maternity leave into my compensation and if I'm desperate.

I got pregnant in my first 90 days at 1 firm and found out between accepting an offer and starting the next job that I was pregnant again.

I live in CA so in both instances I received state benefits. If you are in NY or CA I would do it as they are the "most generous" states with parental leave benefits. However, I also know attorneys have different opportunities than staff so if you are in a position to negotiate leave as part of your offer I would.

I switched jobs at 6 months pregnant. It wasn’t fun but it was do-able.

You can but also might be looking at maternity leave policies at the company and family leave policies in your state to make sure you can work for less than a year and still use the leave. Most places/states require a year of employment for eligibility and so does FMLA for job protected leave.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

Billables are low this month. Like I have 65 billable hours in so far. I’ve messaged partners over the last week to try and get more cases but there are tons of new associates who were just onboarded and were at a low point for business. I’m freaking out

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
