What would you do?
As some of you may know, I recently got my BFP. We don't intend to tell our families for another month and we won't tell others until we reach 13 weeks.
Here's my problem: I'm applying for a job over the next couple of weeks. It's in my field and it's on a fixed-term basis for two years. I'm almost certain I'll be invited for an interview and I think I actually have a shot of being offered the job. If I am offered the job I'll be about 6 weeks along. The job doesn't start until after the holidays, which would put me past the 13 week mark at which point I could let them know. I have no intention of telling them at the interview (I don't want anybody to know and this firm employs a bunch of people I know so word would get around). Now, do you think it's ok to just leave it and tell them once I start and I just let them deal with me having to go on maternity leave a few months down the line? Or should I just not apply because it wouldn't be fair to them?
Of course, I could just stop thinking about this and worry about it if and when I am offered the job.
