Any luck negotiating Parental leave with a new job? I am expecting an offer but my SO is expecting and according to new company's policy, I'm eligible after 1 year of service but will only have like 6months by the time the baby comes. They have a generous leave policy, just not sure if I should talk about it now or wait until closer to the due date?

Literally just went to post this. Same boat. Congrats to you both!

How big is the company? Larger the harder to negotiate any standard benefits. However you can think about doing part-time for a couple months once the baby is born or something that isn’t cutting out fully for several months. Either way, I’d present the question to HR as a generic question about whether certain benefit vesting schedules are flexible, then have the talk with your manager after you have a couple months of solid track record in the new role

Tell the hiring manager about it. I doubt the hiring manager would not try to work it out with you. The only issue I could see is if you plan to take more than 8 weeks right away. Also try to work it out with them too.

Also, how long it takes to get base location changed through HR in TCS?

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

Thinking along the lines of:
- Platforms you'd keep away from
- Gigs that people have missed the boat on by now or instead that have just taken off only now
- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

Question: an employee was asked by his boss for same day turn around on responses/deliverables on a days he requested PTO. He completed the work. The manager wants to know if she can still deduct PTO time for the days requested, even though he completed work on those days. Help.

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
