Anyone taken maternity leave in Big Law and then in-house? Considering a move to a FAANG and curious how the experience compares in terms of ramp off, coverage, how it was respected, etc. My Big Law maternity leave was surprisingly great and well respected, though not as long as some peer firms offer.

I did one of each. Both were well-respected. In-house leave was a little shorter (4.5 months instead of 6), but felt plenty long to me. Ramping wasn’t really important in-house as my hours are very regular, whereas the pregnancy while at the firm was exhausting and stressful and I couldn’t realistically ramp down or back up given the nature of my work (private equity transactions).

Could be a good excuse to get a Taycan but was hoping I could just stick with my mustang. We said next car will be an EV didn’t think it would be so soon though!

Any risk or problem with this? Or other advice on asking for PT, please? Thanks for any help! 🙂
