Hi everyone,
well, as above - I have a job interview on Wednesday and I am 25 1/2 weeks pregnant. It looks like an interesting role, a step up from what I've been doing in terms of seniority and money, and more of a focus on writing /advocacy than I currently have, which I like (I'm an in-house lawyer). It's very close to home (I could drive there in under 10 minutes).
The first interview is this week, and there'd be a second interview next week. I think I could just hide the fact that I am pregnant with a cunningly cut dress. However, if I made it to a second interview, I think I would probably tell them and hope that they thought I was so amazing that they could live with it
My idea would be to pitch a mid-March start date, with one day worked from home (the nature of the work means this should be do-able). The baby would be 4 months old. DH could arrange to take some parental leave for 3 - 4 months at that point, and the extra money would mean we'd be able to afford a nanny.
This would mean that, although I'd start a bit later than they would have had in mind, they won't need to worry about maternity leave or anything. My notice period at my current job is 3 months anyway, and the Christmas/Januray period is very quiet here - lots of offices shut down for 3+ weeks.
Is this remotely feasible or am I totally deluded? Anyone been in a similar situation?
