Yes. 8 weeks. No. Moves promo window 1:1, but that's reasonable. Marathon, not a sprint

I took the full leave but not all at once. I found we had a ton of help right after my kid was born so I saved my time for a few months later when that help evaporated and I was able to get tons of 1:1 time with the baby. But definitely take your time

Also, there’s a bowl for consulting dads.

Hi McK1 - I’m 1+2 at EM and really not concerned about ratings at all. Could make promo to AP a bit slower

Good for you! It’s so important that Fathers take parental leave too. Enjoy!

Not McK, but take the full leave. You won't regret that.

In this talent market, take the time off

Take the full leave without skipping a beat - such a special time! Enjoy!

Coming up on parental leave in March. Just got designated an EM, so that is out of the way. I’m wondering how ratings would be calibrated if I’m off from May-July (planning to take another month of PTO).

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I feel like I wasted 20 years of work life- as if I’m back to sq 1. Married with baby, super under pressure (by myself and the bills) to provide for my family. Looking for more payment security - not knowing when the next paycheck comes in kills me. Apparently I got so many skills etc., but I don’t believe in myself rn. Looking for a friend or someone who was in this kind of situation and got out of it. Of course, looking also for a safe haven/job
