Pregnant and choosing new job

4 replies

I left my job a few weeks ago as it was a terrible place to work. Secured 2 job offers to start in a weeks time.

Just found out today that I am pregnant. Very early days, only 10dpo so anything could happen really but fingers crossed.

Which job do I take?

First job: Working at a company I worked at 2 years ago. I left there as it was badly organised and management didn't care about anyone. But better the devil you know? theyre offering 40K. A short drive from home. No option to WFH.

Second job: Working at a brand new company. Only offering 30K but offer hybrid working. Office is 25 minutes away but obviously wouldn't be in there every day. Company is bigger and seems nicer but I guess you never really know until you start.

Congrats on baby and job offers!

If you left your previous job due to bad culture, are you going to end up in the same situation if you take option A?

Option B seems underpaid if you’re fetching 25% more elsewhere.

Could you find an option C?

@DogsAndGin thank you! And no option C unfortunately as I'm currently unemployed and both jobs are due to start next Monday so can't buy any more time.

Really torn now.

Option A.
Better the devil you know, especially if your life is about to change in 9 months. I would go back to where I know people/the way they handle things etc.
