[quote=Anonymous]I know I'm not alone in this, but this has been a crazy year career-wise: I left my prior firm (govt. contractor) in January after seeing the writing on the wall, and started with a new company that is also a govt. contractor but more DoD-focused so a bit more stable.

The job has been a poor fit: it's boring, the company culture is not what I'm used to, and there are no growth opportunities. I've been casually job hunting and am fortunate enough to have some interest from people in my network. I could see at least one of these panning out, and the roles seem exciting. A couple are fully remote, which would be huge.

My dilemma is this: I am 34 and plan to start TTC in the new year. Obviously this does not align well with starting a new job, if I got pregnant quickly I likely wouldn't get paid maternity leave due to not being at the company for a year...overall I feel like it's not a good look to start a new job and go out shortly after.

WWYD - stay at boring, stable role or make a change? (And yes, I'm fully aware it could take some time to get pregnant anyways).
