I’m starting a new firm next week, and I’ll also be out on maternity leave at the end of September/early October. I really want to take a vacation maybe at the end of May. Do you think that’s doable or would it look bad?

If you didn’t have this vacation booked already and communicated it to the firm, I wouldn’t take one in the first couple months of joining. Further into the summer would be fair game.

Unfortunately agree with P1. I wish it wasn’t that way, but I do think a vacation so soon after lateraling has a good chance of harming people’s first impression of you

When does mat leave end? I came back from mat leave in September and took a vacation in December and didn’t have any issues, but I find these things are often very group-dependent.

Maternity leave is 4 months, so I’d be back end of January/early February, which feels like forever from now to take a vacation.

I think you could do a long weekend without it being noticed

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak. He scolds me over every little thing, how I load the dishwasher, maybe I didn’t push my chair in. Last week he told me I needed to work on my appearance. I was shocked. I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?

Hi all, I have been in my present workplace for 3 years and I know I am underpaid as per present market standards.

Want to find out how much would be a realistic quote to ask for if I switch irrespective of the present salary.

Can someone throw some light on what is the expected salary for a data/business analyst profile with 5 years experience as per market standards.

Experience: SQL, Python (basic modelling). Have some experience with BI tools and Adobe Analytics.

TIA for the help.

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm.
