Hi fishes, I'm eager to know what financial services firms have continuing education policies to financially support employees who successfully obtain certifications/charters (e.g. CFA, FRM, CAIA...) during the course of their employment?

Is this a reasonable expectation to have that most top-tier firms would offer such a benefit?

I believe all BIG 4's have a reimbursement policy if you clear the exams (CFA, FRM). However sometimes the certification should be relevant for your service line / competency as per policy for getting the reimbursement.

That's helpful and good to know, thanks.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?
