[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They both suck - "travel once or twice a month" usually means twice and usually travel ramps up, not down (unless it is just during a transition period).

I'd stick with the old company through maternity leave and try to find something with less travel during/after maternity leave, frankly. [/quote]

Op here. Yes the new job is a day trip to PA. The old one to Connecticut, not sure of the travel logistics. I was thinking travel 1-2 days per month is far more preferable than having to work outside the home? Provided the travel is after when the baby is atleast 3 months old, so maybe starting Jan?[/quote]

If the travel really is only 1 - 2 days per month. When I hear 1 - 2 times per month, I think 3 - 6 days per month, not 1 - 2. But yes, if something is a day trip - then that's very different than airplane/overnight travel and much more managable.

I still feel like staying with the old company through the maternity leave is preferable, and working from home full time is sooooooo sweet, I'd hesitate to give that up during this transition period in my life. I think in 7 - 12 months you'll be in a better position to look for a new position, if needed, and know what your priorities are after baby is here. You may find working from home isn't actually ideal once baby is here... or you may value it so much there's no way you'd want to give it up. [/quote]
