I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my first and have a job offer dilemma.
I have been with my current employer work is remote, 100% paid maternity leave for 16 weeks. Kind of in the cycle know how things work and it's a consistent job but not much opportunity for growth $ wise.
Recently was offered another remote position that pays 15k more but has no paid maternity leave and is just a different section of business I don't have much experience in.
If the money were the same or even 5k more I wouldn't consider. But if I were to take it for the pay jump would it be pointless for the first year considering I'd have to take unpaid leave? Should I stay where I know for the paid maternity leave and consider a job search after that?
**EDIT** Thanks for the responses. The staying put option was really where my heart was leaning but since we haven’t told friends or family yet just needed to hear it from more than my brain.
