Maybe it will be negotiable when you quit. Make sure you tell them why so they come into the 21st century to stop bleeding top talent.
Ha! I think some places it would be, but I doubt it here. I practice in a geographic area that’s pretty old guard. I think they honestly think I should feel lucky they offer short term disability with a rider that covers birth.
I did, and it was worth it. My last firm had 3 months but the new one offered 5 and that alone was worth the jump for me. I don’t love my partners as much but they’re flexible and that’s all I needed. I eventually went in house for my second and that was even better with 6 months and amazing coworkers.
I had a mentor in law school that said to make sure you’re at the right firm when you have kids if you want them. At the time I was 24 and didn’t even think I’d have kids. 31 now and I 100% get it. Thanks for replying!

Wow! The way you said that is really impactful to me. They’re only little for so long. That time is truly a gift you can’t get back once it’s gone.
