I joined Deloitte in 19’ and don’t buy into the circlejerk that seems to go on both for / against the company - I like being a part of the firm but am underwhelmed with where the recent compensation cycle resulted. I have an opportunity with a small business to get a roughly $45k salary increase, but would have 2 sacrifice the security of Deloitte, wfh and paternity leave, which will come into play this fall as we have a baby due in November. Anyone make a similar switch before or havethoughts?

Don’t give up paternity leave. That’s honestly the best perk of Deloitte, their parental leave policy is one of the best.

It’s 16 weeks

Figure out a way to take advantage of the paternity benefits. Those go a long way

You can tell the new company that you can’t start until January due to your upcoming birth. Take advantage of paternity leave then quit

Your new firm has no paternity leave?

Very limited comparatively. Deloitte is 16 weeks, new firm is really a small business defense contractor (kind of an oxymoron lol) and provides I think a week or something like that

Paternity leave should be for 2 weeks, the rest of the time you are gone you’re just killing your career.

MD1, also bear in mind you can take the leave up to one full year from your child’s birth. So the point you’re making about “they won’t even know you’re there,” assumes you’re taking the leave instantly. I’m on paternity leave right now (6 weeks) and my daughter is 6 months old and fully aware of my presence. It’s amazing
