Bain!
Wharton MBA here and interested in Bain. Can you DM me please if Bain is hiring? I’m unable to DM you.
KPMG
2 weeks? Also horrible.
Deloitte
Deloitte is good if you are in Core. USDC only gets 2 weeks.
🙋🏻♂️ switched to Kaiser from a bigger firm specifically for this reason
Deloitte but I would argue this is project/leadership based and you need to set your own boundaries
Completely agree regardless of the firm
OW. We have 8-10 weeks of paternity.
Roland Berger has 16 weeks of paternity in the United States
EY
Deloitte
Slalom’s pretty solid for parents. 8 weeks parental leave, no unwanted travel, and 40-45 hour work week.
I had a bad experience at Slalom but it was likely due to the specific market where I worked (it is somewhat of a franchise type of operating model), I think the company as a whole is probably okay for those with families.
If you want to stay in consulting you will almost always have tradeoffs. The WLB in many industry-side positions will be much better.
Work at a bank 👍
They are not specifically parent friendly, but generally have a chill culture
ZS gives 10 weeks of paternity leave. There are part time options if you want. And most Principals have family and kids (and not divorced!) - which is a long term sustainability market for me.
The biggest struggle is an individual has to be ok with setting some boundaries and take advantage of these.
Protiviti. 10 weeks paternity and my MDs have always understood when I needed a flexible schedule.
McKinsey has been great. Took pat leave two weeks after I onboarded. Also they have optional ramp up programs where you ease back into work.
Honestly, I think most of the big consulting firms have amazing paternity leave policies and are actually supportive of taking the time. I’ve been promoted twice in years that I’ve taken paternity leave and have extended leave using PTO as well with nothing but support at both PwC and KPMG. Relative to my friends in banking / industry, it’s great.
Don’t get my wrong. Im still a Big 4 hater but the two firms I’ve worked at have been great about paternity leave
Agree with you M3. I think all of the B4 have good policies in place now. I can only speak to PwC, but I never had any pushback about taking leave and I fully encourage my staff to take it.
