About to take an offer at EY. Want a baby soon and saw the great news about increased parental leave. Question is, can u use vacation time consecutively with it? Right now most on leave take 5 months

Yea but I wish you would take some of them back because everyone I've worked with from PwC is awful. Either lazy or terrible management style. Probably weren't getting promoted at pwc so they jumped ship.

People actually leave PwC for EY? I thought it only went the other way.

like

I think you can but you have to be at the firm a year first to be able to take advantage of the 16 weeks so you'll need to time baby's arrival to be right after your one year mark...

Fair point. I really like working with people EY trained. They are usually rock solid, and only left for better pay.

like

I think it depends on the office too. I left EY but my old partner wouldn't have been understanding or accommodating about having a baby. Make sure you're joining a nice/normal team. I found EY had a lot less flexibility than pwc has.

Nobody has kept women from maternity leave or men from paternity leave in my experience. And a handful of women have used vacation consecutively. McLean, for reference.

I've never heard of anyone from staff to senior managers having an issue with maternity/paternity leave and flexibility. I think your old partner was an asshole, but most likely the exception at EY. EY is shoving these benefits down our throats so I find it hard to believe you would have an issue using them.

With short term disability and parental leave you get 22 weeks. You can use vaca after that to add on

Thanks for all of your responses. Are you certain it is a one grace period? I don't plan on starting a fam for at least a year but mistakes can happen? Lol 😱

The email we got the other day about the change said that "all primary caregivers who have been with the firm for one year will be eligible for up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave" and it starts effective July 1. I was at another firm before that new parents weren't given parental leave since they hadn't been there for a year but could be different. I'm not too sure how it all works since that's a far off future for me.

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

How do you usually ask for PTO? I have the days accrued but I have PTSD from a past job about asking for time off.

I had to take a day this last week and they were great about it (immediate “Yeses”) but somehow, asking for a week feels like a hurdle. (Also, I’m only 7 months in, haven’t met the partners IRL, and we only really communicate via email)
