How many vacation days do you get a year? I just realized I can only accrue two weeks of vacation a year. Because I schedule my vacation time around holidays, I guess I never noticed. When I start looking for other jobs, how much vacation time should I expect/ask for?

Please name and shame. Feel like most firms give either 20 days (4 work weeks) or have unlimited. 2 weeks feels criminally low

Ah so not big law. Makes more sense. Still gross though.

What does your offer letter and/or vacation policy say?

We’re in a union, and the contract says we have two weeks of vacation time and two personal days. I can't remember how we accrue sick time, but I use it often for my mental health days, so I rarely have enough to roll over.

Every place I have worked has given two weeks vacation. However, they give the attorneys more PTO than they do the paralegals. I worked at a small firm once that only gave us one week of PTO which really sucked.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!
