I just did this with paternity leave - depends on the firm - some may have a payback clause. For mine it was sadness and disappointment from leadership but they weren’t close to matching a competing offer

Seen one do it. It wasn't the best look but it was also not a big deal.

My sibling is planning to do this i think.

If someone does this will they be asked to leave immediately even if they are ready to serve the full notice period after rejoining from maternity leave ?

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?
