[quote=Anonymous]If you want to work again, you need to work after the baby is born. You may be able to negotiate 60% or 80% time or a 16-20 week maternity leave, but you need to go back. Do you have a prenup? Your DH may be able to take care of you if you stay home, but the stats for both 2nd marriages and for entering the workforce as a woman in tech after 1-3 years away are not good. As a female exec at a large tech consulting firm, I will also add that you are not young. Re-joining the work force at 28 is a lot different than at 40. It’s not fair, but tech is not kind to middle-aged women. If your 2nd marriage fails and you have stepped out of the workforce, you will be SOL. [/quote]
