Do Big 4 and other PA firms offer paternity leave? My last industry job had paternity leave=maternity leave and it was a total of 12 week(3 months). If your PA firms offer paternity leave, what happens if your child is born in the middle of the busy season, will they allow you to take paternity leave then or will they tell you to wait until busy season ends. Just curious.

Yes, do take it during busy season. They would seriously be @$$holes if they deny your paternity leave even if it’s during busy season.

EY is also 16 weeks and if you can time your child’s birth to be during or just before busy season you’re doing it right

Deloitte offers 16 weeks family leave. Women can extend to 24 weeks with short term disability from labor and additional PTO tacked on. Unsure how additional PTO works for men, but the short answer is eligible full time employees receive 16 weeks.

I've had three kids during busy season. I take a week of "sick" time to help out and then get back to work. Paternity leave comes after busy season is over.

When I was in public accounting, we didn't have paternity leave then. When my son was born, the partner called me 3 days after his birth to come back to work. That was my Q it was time to leave. I left that firm 2 months after

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?

The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?
