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.

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).

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
