I need to second this ^ there’s nothing harder than a new job (let alone a challenging one!) with a new born. Maybe take a couple of years to really consider what the next move is before doing it. Speak with recruiters, find out what your role will pay at a similar company where you are, what other adjacent roles would pay and whether you’d get a look in, talk about your options for other industries or roles you’re interested in but not qualified for, hell even go for interviews for practice if you think you can (I’m awful at that but people have recommended to me before)

Depends how far along she is. I changed to a less stressful and better paid and better leave job about 4 months before birth and it was a great move. I also went from 0 to 4 weeks of parental leave which I didn’t even know at the time
