Having a second baby while staying in the same tech role/company?
Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking more seriously about future family planning lately and would love to hear from others who have navigated this or similar.
I had my first child 18 months ago, and my husband and I would love to have more than one. Given my age (turning 35 later this year), I’m starting to think more about timing for baby #2. One thing I’m struggling with is that I haven’t seen personally many examples of women going on maternity leave twice while staying at the same tech job/company.
For those who have either experienced multiple mat leaves at one company personally, or for those who have seen it happen on your teams… what was it like? For those who personally went through it, curious did it impact your career progression or if the perception/treatment felt different from the first.
Not looking for legal advice here, just would love to hear about experiences and perspectives given how little I’ve actually seen this firsthand. Also, I know this overlaps with working parent topics. But I’m specifically curious about the tech/culture aspect of this situation. Thanks in advance!!!
