Hi all. I'm a newbie here and hoping for some advice. I'm 28 and my biological clock has suddenly gone mad. I've been with my partner for 6 years and we've always planned to start a family in future. I'm one year qualified in the litigation department of a city law firm and I was wondering if anyone else in similar careers had thoughts about whether taking maternity leave in the near future would be career suicide? I've heard some people say that more junior is better as clients won't yet miss you when you're off, while others say you need a certain level of pqe (3 yrs? 4yrs?) to get established before you should think of it. Let me know your thoughts! And thank you in advance.
