I was surprised by how short the maternity leave in the US is compared to almost any other country in the world. Here's China's policy: 98 days mandated by national law and extra 30-60 days cont'd.

Why don't you go live in China for a few years and see if you're a fan of their policies then.

It's not contested that the US has the worst maternity leave policy among all developed nations. And only people who have never lived in China would make fun of having to live in China. Depending on where you live, many cities in China are like living in the future compared to US cities. However, rural cities in China have far worse standard of living than rural US cities

China also has mandatory retirement for women at 60 and men at 65. That's a good policy

Extra 30-60 days offered by different provinces. Husband can have 7-15 days leave depending on the location too. Pregnant women are not legally allowed to work overtime during pregnancy.

D1 lived there for 6 months, fan only of the retirement policy. I do like CAs maternity laws (and our new kid days are behind us at this point, that's about getting it right for the next gen (already written off the self entitled millenials)).

Be shocked that a woman that just gave birth can be "let go" if her job is eliminated

Are those 98 calendar days or business days? Honestly that doesn't sound far off from what we get at most consulting firms... I do like the no OT though while pregnant. Stopping work at 60 is dumb for women ... with inflation how can we support ourselves for a full retirement? I have many family members who lived past 100!

D2 yes

But the next generation, the oldest of which are now in high school. Have hope they will be less self entitled, the gen x parents seem to be doing a better job than the latter 1/2 of boomers did.

Why don't supposed entitled millennial deserve high quality maternity leave? And please, give me one example of millennial entitlement. I am technically a millennial, but only by a year or two and I am tired of being grouped in with this generalization.

Ah now I see why it's densely populated 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Kid will be going to college by that time!

Yeah, don't they also have a one child policy?

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?

Hello fishes,

I'm looking for a job in healthcare consulting, currently at ZS. Please help 🙏, in dire need of job/guidance.

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.
