Coach
I would wait.
Most companies require you the be employed there for 1 year before you qualify for maternity leave. 😞 I’d start looking while you’re on leave and can do interviews without having to worry about your work schedule. I did this when I was on maternity leave several years ago.
Exactly, and this includes EY, you have to be there one year before you qualify for maternity benefits.
I would not want to negotiate around that point, not would I want to ask to push my start date until the end of your EY leave. Your ideal situation is to find a job towards the end of your leave (don’t forget to use your unlimited PTO to extend two weeks!) and give notice on your first day back.
Definitely wait. I took the leave and think it really was great for me and the baby.
In the same boat. Waiting it out. Also, it's 4 months!
Please wait . Most companies cannot match EY here and even if they can they would ask one year of employment
Fwiw we don’t have any cliff here for parental leave.
