hello - I would love some advice!
I have just found out I am pregnant (not even have 12 month scan yet) but suddenly everything seems to change!
I have an interview for a job which is a side step/ step down. Its a big pay cut, plus I would miss out on mat leave, however on the plus side it is outside of London which would mean that I could cut my travel time from 1h15 to around 30 mins and will be far less stressful than current job (which is pretty full on).
I think with us both working full time (no way my current job would give me part time and we considered husband's but he has just had a promotion that wont allow it in next couple of years) and childcare (no family near by to help) it might offer a far better solution - however its a big move to make and will be a big reduction income - but possible (goodbye summer holidays!).
As these jobs don't come up very often I am thinking although it seems crazy I am going to go for it. It could work for the next few years and then I could go back to more full on job in London.
From your experience of working and having kids what would you do? Am i crazy to be considering even going for a new job when pregnant?!
