Dream job offer … 38 weeks pregnant wwyd?
I lost my job last year. For that reason, my husband and I decided we would have another baby and I’d stay home (we already have a 4 year old).
I’m now 38 weeks pregnant and was approached by a company directly about an opportunity. I went for the interview and loved the sound of it, home office / travel / great salary etc.
Second and third stage interview went extremely well and I got an offer.
The catch is I didn’t disclose I’m pregnant (legally I don’t have to) OF COURSE I would not sign a contract and then disclose this information, I have to tell them beforehand.
But I’m so conflicted, I’ll of course ask for a later start date and I really don’t want to say no to this opportunity but I also don’t want to return to work so soon after having a baby.
What would you do in this situation? Of course I’m going to be honest and ask them straight up for a later start date at the risk they say no, but also don’t want to miss out on the time with my baby.
