[quote=Anonymous]I"m a lawyer. I've seen women take their maternity leave and then not come back. It isn't well received and what's worse, it will be held against the women attorneys who want to take leave after you. They'll be taken less seriously out of the belief that the pregnant ones always leave. Not saying you shouldn't take the job. You should if it's a better fit. But act like a grown up and tell them your leaving now, not after five more weeks of paid maternity leave. Maternity leave is intended to help you ease back into working at the firm, it's not a benefit for time served. But if you act responsibly, they may not hold it against you and may still give you all or some of the paidleave. Leaving on bad terms is never good and can often come back to hurt you in the future. Honesty is the best policy here.[/quote]
