[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you interviewing when you’re pregnant??? You’re about to have an 18 week fully paid maternity leave if you’re in biglaw.[/quote]

I've been interviewing for the past year. Agree that I need to stop. Assuming they won't fire me over my hours anyway. [/quote]

Does your firm do part-time schedules?  Is it possible they’ll tell you that you’re basically working part-time hours and want to pay you less going forward?  That could be good or bad from your perspective.  Would it make your life easier if you didn’t have the expectation to bill 1800 hours?[/quote]

I've wondered a million times why they haven't suggested this themselves. Many associate moms work PT at my firm. Maybe they're afraid it will sound discriminatory since I'm already a mom? [/quote]

Are you a SCOTUS clerk, OP?!  That is the only explanation I can fathom for why your firm hasn’t called you out by now...[/quote]

Far from it. I think they're just slow to respond. [/quote]
