Maternity is fine, but paternity might count against you. Not from a leave/HR policy perspective but from a bias perspective

I know multiple people who got promoted despite going on leave.

I am sure someone from Accenture will respond. Check with HR that maternity leave doesn't count against you. We fixed it a few years ago and I know of a few that where promoted on a leave year.

Then you push back on paternity leave

@A1 - did they do any +1s?

Sorry - not sure what you mean by +1s?

A1 - Like did they lead any volunteer initiatives / ergs?

Oh duh. :) they were involved on account initiatives only and not broader.

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for. I have BS degree in healthcare professions and wanted to know if 40k is too low of salary to start off as a compliance officer for a pharmacy that provides discounted medications. My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Job A - no career path upwards, high functioning team, generous benefits and unlimited time off. TC 185

Job B - clear career path, new team, chaotic corporation, but lots of room for growth and budget to hire staff. Ok benefits. TC 220

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits.

Here's what I'm replacing them with: ⤵
