I’m a postdoc and will be looking for assistant professor jobs next cycle. Simultaneously, my partner and I are ready to start the journey toward our first child. Assuming we are able to time things out (which, I realize, is a big assumption), which would be preferable: being pregnant or having an infant on the job market?

Please help a wannabe mom pretend like I have some semblance of control over this situation! Thank you!!
