Um take it. That is what it's there for and your kids are only infants once. Work will be fine. When ppl quit or get fired they are backfilled with no issue so they can do it for leave as well.

I know several men who have taken the full 16 weeks right after the birth despite their wives also not working during that time. I think it's intended to be only for primary caregiver but from what I hear the company doesn't check or require proof of being the primary caregiver

Nope! I know two senior managers that have done it. They took it after their wives leave was up and it worked out. They had time to plan and were primary at that time

FYI- you don’t have to do it that way, that’s just what they wanted

You are a “primary care giver” if your partner goes back to work/school full or part time. So if your wife is a stay at home parent you technically can’t use the 16 weeks.

Otherwise not too many issues. I took 9 weeks. its definitely is tough as a SM to just leave client responsibility completely behind but no one gave me a hard time.

My wife is expecting twins, and we have a two year old. My PPED told me he would support me taking the full 16 weeks right away regardless of if/when my wife goes back to work. But my PPED is uncommonly cool about these kind of things

16 weeks is no longer just for the primary care giver. Open to both parents. Take it!

I tried Googling but can't find any info. Anyone been through this before and know what they're referring to? I just like to be as informed as I can.

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back.

We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢

The Way to a Higher Salary? Leave.

If I had stayed in the role I was in originally and grown with it, I’d be making maybe $120k, best case. I also wouldn’t have broken 6-figures in under 4 years by waiting.

The biggest lie that companies tell you is you can grow in a firm, both professionally and financially. The only ones that grow are already the people a) getting the promotions, or b) on the sales side.

If neither applies to you, the fastest way to achieve salary growth is to leave.
