Hello fellow women tax professionals! I joined this group to learn from you what is lacking for you from our public accounting firms? What do you want to see offered to make your work environment and career what you ideally seek? Seriously, hit me - I aim to make as much of this become reality for you as possible.

I'm not even a mother, and I never plan to have kids; but large & national firms should offer extensive parental leave for new parents.

People are already getting burnt out, and people would appreciate a workplace that doesn't give bare minimum parental leave. I'm sure they'd be more likely to come back and have loyalty and gratitude to a firm that is more flexible with parental leave.

Furthermore, paternal leave should be a given. I think this is the case at most national firms, but it shouldn't be a luxury.

We are re-starting our women’s networking group at our media/tech company after a 2 year hiatus and are working on a new mission statement and purpose to be more inclusive and better reflect the times. For example, previously, only women were allowed to join the group. We’d now like to expand our membership to anyone who identifies as woman or who are allies. I was wondering if you could all share the mission statement at your company’s women’s group and what kinds of programming are available?

I have a consult today and am wondering if anyone has recommendations of questions I should ask.

Background: 33yo, sperm donor, blood work showing diminished ovarian res.

After my first round of blood work Dr is recommending IVF. My partner and I were really hoping to go the IUI route. I’m really only looking to have one child (or rather one full term pregnancy regardless of how many pop out that time). As of right now we aren’t seeing other concerns in my body just the low egg count.

I’m a new senior manager. I helped refer a manager I used to work with at an old job here. I had to step away in a client call and told him that I am stepping away, if anything happens let me know. Towards the end of the call the client asked about my teams work, and the status. And then complained about delay. The partner stepped in saying there is no delay. This manager, remained completely silent, and did not tell me anything happened at all once I came back.

I love my career, but it's not the only thing in the world that matters to me.

How should I handle this?
