How many weeks of maternity leave does your firm provide? It's 6 weeks at ZS - seems kinda low from I hear about other places?

PwC's leave works out to be roughly 4-5 months fully paid depending on how much vacation you have saved, You can be gone up to 26 weeks without question. It was pretty sweet.

100% of base pay for 12 weeks and then 66.66% for the balance of short term disability period.

Yes. That's low. We have 8 weeks of PATernity. Deloitte has 16. 6 was for birth moms is bad. Are you sure that isn't in addition to short-term disability?

Well, if you max your leave out, it will affect your career progression. Even if they tell you it won't.

LOL I specifically chose not to go to ZS because of their poor maternity policy.

OP, it's six additional weeks based on today's update, not six weeks total

I think it's 16 weeks at KPMG.

KPMG- is that paid?

D has 4 months paid family leave for most, but not all (PDM aka non-partner track gets leave, but not 4 months)

👀

BCG1 - I'm not sure about that but I'll see what I can find on the internal site.

Bcg 1 - how much is it for birth moms at your firm?

Wow, all of this makes me happy. I recently saw a stat that said 86% of workplaces in the U.S. don't provide paid maternity leave. I guess we're in the top 14%

Yes. Consulting, big tech, and rich hippy companies (Patagonia) are tops.

How normal is it to be pulled off a trial team because you tell your boss you are moving after trial? I have a trial coming up first week of Oct. This case has been my baby, and I’m going to try it with my boss. I tell my boss up front that, for family reasons, I’ve gotten a new job and will be moving to another city two weeks after trial will likely end. He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great!

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
