Thanks to everyone who gave me advice for my second interview last Friday. I got the call about an hour ago that I have been offered the position. They actually asked me for a little time before I start because they're restructuring that division (I think someone is getting fired, but they didn't say that) and they know they're hiring me but not sure exactly what my role will be (it is for a criminal defense attorney but they assign to specific geographic areas so they haven't decided where mine will be yet). That is great because I asked if it would be okay for me to leave for Thanksgiving (we have tickets to be in PA for a week) and he said no problem.
He also said that he discussed my pregnancy with the partner (I told him during the first interview because I really wanted to be open with him) and they agreed that that was no big deal and that they really wanted me for the firm! Not having a job has been weighing on me so heavily (I have been self-employed but making about half of what I will at this job) with this baby coming and I feel like I can finally breathe a sign of relief.
Happy Halloween!!
Re: I got the job!!
That's awesome -- Congrats!!
Question -- are they still allowing you to have some maternity leave? I know everywhere is different, but there is a job I'm slightly interested in, but on the fence as to whether to bother given the timing of being pregnant, etc.
Yes, they will give me my full 12 weeks, it will just be unpaid, which is obviously just fine with me!
