Do startups typically offer benefits or is that part of the price of admission of working at them?

I think it depends on the company you are working for. Some start ups are very lean, but then I have heard of others that have so much money upfront that they offer really good benefits.

I have worked at start ups with better benefits than major established companies. I think it can be part of their appeal, especially if it's in the tech world and they have more funding.

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid. Or do they just pick a number, like “yeah they can get to know their kid in a few weeks and I couldn’t possibly have that attorney out for 12 weeks?” I’m at a small firm, no FMLA or state requirement. We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
