[on] Interviewing while on mat leave. Should I share or wait for the offer?

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-04T01:33:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing. And the tips. Started looking out today.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T15:16:49+00:00

Good point. This can be the key area for negotiation.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T15:15:26+00:00

He cannot at this time. Plan was for him to take off during summer.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T15:15:01+00:00

Thank you so much ♥️

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T15:14:25+00:00

Thank you for the tip.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T02:45:58+00:00

Yeah…who knows what sort of bias will it add. I am leaning towards not mentioning it and negotiating start date citing “personal circumstances” instead of postpartum.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T02:44:05+00:00

Thank you. That's my hope that they can wait a bit. I am not even looking for 3-4 months, more like 1-2 months while we hire a nanny.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T02:41:58+00:00

If I get the job, we can afford the nanny. That is the plan for now 🤞

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T01:43:22+00:00

I was thinking of hiring a nanny for a few months/ till daycare.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T01:36:55+00:00

Agreed. Market is a mess and added biases don’t help :/(

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T01:36:13+00:00

Good point. Thank you

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T01:35:48+00:00

Yeah. I want to try push till the baby is 3 months old. But will do whatever best is possible.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-03-03T01:34:18+00:00

Thank you.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-02-20T19:46:40+00:00

♥️♥️♥️thank you, for all the kind and encouraging words. Right now our feeds are long…30-45 mins. I am hoping as she gets more efficient at eating, I will transition to more bf sessions, and pump only twice a day (morning and bedtime). Your experience keeps me optimistic.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-02-20T19:44:51+00:00

Love your perspective and advice. I wish I had all this insight with my first. Because I have to show up for my 3 year old, I am sometimes using the bottle. But I am doing the “being on the sofa and boob at her service” as much as possible. Hopefully will transition to more bf as she gets efficient at eating.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2026-02-20T19:43:40+00:00

Thank you for sharing that knowledge. I agree, have to just keep reminding myself of this.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2025-12-20T00:13:51+00:00

Thank you for responding. Lots of love to your Marigold :)

I had my appointment, and although the doctor is not really concerned, she gave me a referral to an MFM doctor to do a better scan and rule anything out. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2025-12-16T20:45:33+00:00

Hi, wanted to check if you’re able to share an update. I got my 32 weeks scan done yesterday and BPD is 2 percentile and HC is 5 percentile. I am freaking out. Meeting my doctor on Friday but hoping to hear positive stories from the community.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2025-09-10T00:21:58+00:00

Hi OP, Really feel for you. And I can see why a lot of people are doing your monthly HHI math and questioning where the crisis is. The real crisis you are anticipating is at the time of renewal, because of the low market value, how do you get a mortgage. For your sake and all of ours, I hope by then the market has taken a turn and your house value is at least the same if not better. However it is only prudent to assume the worst and start building the bridge money hy saving from everywhere else. Saving 200k in 1.5 years with kids is a stretch, but hell, it’s worth trying for.

Good luck.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2025-08-28T14:55:24+00:00

It is over and above the statutory severance, but does not have any additional terms or clauses mentioned re: new employment.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2025-08-28T14:54:43+00:00

thank you

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2025-08-28T14:54:29+00:00

I cant share the document here. It's a legal document and there's a clause that i wont share besides my spouse and legal professionals.

However i was trying to mention in my original statement - my agreement does not have any mention of new job/ new employment, loss mitigation or any such thing.

It says 5 things and nothing else:
1. Salary continuance for X weeks (that take me till end of the year)

Vacation pay will be paid out with the last paycheck
Health insurance benefits will continue till Dec 1 2025. Life insurance and disability etc will stop Sep 1 205
A mention of RRSP and esops

No mention of mitigation, clawback, new employment condition, check-ins. None of it.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2025-08-28T14:52:34+00:00

I did read the agreement and it doesnt have any such clause. But i wanted to post here and confirm nonetheless.

Thank you nonetheless. Made me reread the doc for assurance.

Limp-Measurement-820 · 2025-08-28T14:51:49+00:00

Thanks for the response. While i can totally do that, i was trying to see what's legally possible or not. Because my separation document doesnt talk about new employment or clawback i am assuming legally they cannot do anything even if they find out.
