I have a question, does everyone's employer offer paid maternity leave? If so, how much time do you get? My employer only offers 80 hours of paid maternity and this seems pretty low, right?

It’s not codified nationally and state rules can vary. It’s really up the the employer most of the time.

Are you in the US? If so, there’s no law mandating maternity leave is paid… it’s literally different for every employer and also varies by state.

Example: I’m in TX. My husband works for a small company. They give 0 hours of paid maternity or paternity leave. I work for a large consulting firm, we give 18 weeks paid maternity leave.

We get 12 weeks fully paid. But to be eligible you must have worked here for 12 months.

Maternity, yes. Paternity, no.

Any paid maternity in the US is better than average. Now elsewhere in the world…we lag badly.

I had my kids before I came here so I didn't pay much attention to those benefits specifically. What I can say though when I was working and went on maternity leave I had zero paid time off and 3 months of unpaid leave, but they would work with you if you needed more time. So high to me and could be low to somebody else.

My company offers 4 months maternity and 2 months paternity. Like others posted, “low” is about perspective because there are small companies that don’t offer any.

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
