[quote=Anonymous]I started a new job a year ago and hate it. There is almost no work for me to do, and they want me to do Job B when I was hired for Job A. I’m beyond bored and irritated about being so misled in the hiring process.

I started looking recently and I’m fortunate to have two offers on the table. Both seem like a good fit (one is with a company I worked with previously/have a good relationship with). They’re almost fully remote, represent a $30-40K pay bump and a title bump.

On paper, it seems like a no brainer to accept one of these jobs. But I’m actively TTC and (assuming a January start) there’s a chance I wouldn’t hit a year in my new job before giving birth. Having a newborn and being unemployed sounds like a nightmare. FWIW, we could cover unpaid maternity leave, but my primary concern would be losing the job due to pregnancy/needing to take leave. I also feel like this is a bad look.

I’d really appreciate any insights - I don’t currently have children so this is new territory. I’m mid-30s and financially stable so don’t see much point in delaying aside from the job situation. [/quote]
