[quote=Anonymous]If you want to take a maternity leave shortly after starting the new job, or want to delay your start date significantly then you need to tell when you receive the offer. As someone who is doing hiring now, I would be really pissed if you demanded 3-4 months off after you started (or wanted to delay your start date significantly). Many times, we need someone to start ASAP due to someone's departure or do work on a particular project. To me, it's the same as if you wanted to delay to take a long awaited vacation or something like that. The fact that it's pregnancy is irrelevant. If you are our top candidate, we would probably work it out. But if you were not, then your lack of availability takes you out of the running. Now, if you only want to take a short leave then that's another story. To me, revealing pregnancy is really about what kind of leave you are expecting new employer to give you. [/quote]
