Does anyone else’s firm consider DC tier 2 (for COL)? It’s annoying that our raises get smaller market adjustments than NYC and SF.

Yes. DC should get its own tier. We’re cheaper than NYC and SF but more expensive than Chicago or LA.

I also don’t see anyone calling Baltimore the south…

DC is cheaper tho :/

I’ve been asked to weigh in on how to improve my firms parental leave policy. It’s currently 8 weeks paid for birth parent with an extra week for each year at the firm (up to 12 weeks total) and 2 weeks paid for non-birth parent. I’m in a major city, firm is a boutique that has been around a very long time. What would you suggest? Any studies or research you’ve seen recently on trends in parental leave policies also helpful. I’d like to have some sort of data to back up what I recommend. TIA!
