As far as asset allocations do you approach all of your investment accounts similarly?

Recently had to Rollover my previous employers Roth 401k into separate IRAs (post tax and pretax employer match) with Fidelity which opened up my investment options. A bit overwhelming, but wondering how most of you approach self managed investment vehicles? Any difference between taxable brokerage and tax-advantaged accounts?

Curious about different approaches and strategies I may not be thinking about.

I personally do it by type. 401k/IRA are tax advantaged. I don’t care if it’s dividends or growth, bc there’s no tax impact short term. Long term, traditional is income either way.

This is opposed to brokerage accounts, where I’d avoid short term tax impacts (e.g., dividends) and look for tax advantaged growth-focused account types

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
