I've been kinda sorta job hunting for about a year now. For various reasons, none of the offers have really been appealing to me so I've stayed put at my job of 2.5 years. I have tons of vacation time and 8 weeks paid maternity here + bonuses so I'd have to find an amazing job to make me leave.
Monday - get an email from HR at a local tech company. The job would be the head of the department but I turned them down since the commute would be longer.
HR emails me back saying they 'plan to relocate the office to NJ in a years time'. This works because I plan to move to NJ or Rockland County, NY in a years time. Of course, no guarantee that either of us will move.
Tuesday- I reconsider and say yes, have a brief phone convo w/ the HR recruiter who schedules a meeting with my potential boss, the president via Skype. I give them my salary requirements ($25k more than I'm making now) and they don't scoff.
Wednesday/Today - They want to bring me in this week to meet the team. I let HR know I can't because we're short staffed and I have tons of deadlines.
HR lets me know the president can push back his flight if I can come in Monday before 4pm.
Now, there's no guarantee I'll get this job but I'm thinking they want to move quickly. How/when do you tell them you're pregnant? When I get the offer? After I've started?
I'm in NY so I know that if hired, they don't have to pay maternity leave if I'm there under 1 year. However, with the salary bump, it'll be fine.
