Hey, hubby and I are trying for our first for about 5mths plus process of selling our flat to buy a house. I’ve just learnt that my dept are going to restructure and so myself and 3 other members are going to have to reapply for 3 roles, which means one of us will be made redundant.
I’ve only been here shortest only two years and tbh it’s been awful but maternity leave benefits has kept me going (6.5mth full pay) and I figure we try buy place have a baby hopefully, take mat year out then see where I am there.
A part of me wants to take the money £12k and try find new job ASAP but my concern is mat leave and that if I get pregnant so soon I’d be given the push. Plus I don’t want to assume I’ll find something so soon. I’ve been made redundant before but luckily found this job so never pay gap.
Whilst I’m unhappy at work I feel best I apply for one of three roles for sake of mat leave and house to buy but reality I will be still unhappy OR do I brave it out temp and try get perm job whilst ttc though house buying will be hard. Given I’m 39 don’t want to hold off trying so a risk. I guess I’m worrying about things that haven’t happened but feel very torn.
Ultimately if job came along with what I wanted I’d take Money and run
Not sure what to do. Any advice would be great.
