Big week so far...I've just been offered a new job after being on the hunt for almost a year for my next step. I've also just found out I'm pregnant after 2 miscarriages and another 8 months of TTC.
My notice period at my current job is 12 weeks which means if things go better this time round then I'd be around 4 months when starting, working for about 4 months and then off on mat leave. It's a 6 month probation period so wouldn't even complete that before I was going off. I'd want to take 9-12 months off.
There is a slim chance that I may be able to negotiate an earlier finish date with my current employer but won't know till I discuss with them to hand in my notice which I have now put off doing.
I am so conscious that this may end in another loss and don't want to continue to put my life on hold, and I know I'd be in a worse state if another loss happens and I'm still stuck in the same job..but I also really don't want to pee off my future employer before I've even started given the recruitment and training process they'd need to go through again.
Has anyone been in a similar situation as either an employee or employer? Any words of advice??
