Is it in bad taste to submit notice of resignation while on company sponsored/paid parental leave? Other than reputation risk, any downsides of doing this like having to pay back any of the paid leave?

It really does depend on policy. Some policy states you have to be at the company for x amount of time after parental leave to receive the benefit. (From my memory it’s not long but maybe a couple months at most)

Often times you have to pay back premiums on benefits. I’d come back for the obligatory 2-4 weeks after leave and then make the choice.

Why not wait and resign?

Speaking as a new mom, I had zero time on parental leave for anything other than baby care and I had a baby nurse and then a nanny. The last few weeks I barely had time to get to the doctor appointments I had for myself. Enjoy the time with your little one and worry about the next steps when you come back.

Hello, I am a new grad with a doctorate in OT. I just got an offer for a job working at a private school. The offer is 58K with benefits. 15 days PTO. Do you guys think I can negotiate the salary to 70K, which based on my research is the average pay for my level of experience and education? Or is that too much to ask?

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

I want to brag on my kid, but I don’t want to embarrass him, so I’m doing it here. My college sophomore found out today that he ended up with a B in his accounting class - which is remarkable, given that he received a 50 on his first exam and a 70 on his second. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him work this hard - and I couldn’t be more proud. The grades that come easily don’t impress me nearly as much as the ones that are hard fought.

Hi,

Is it fine to call a HR if he's not answering. I have my HR discussions pending.

I called him once a day (twice on 2nd day with a gap of 4-5hrs in between)
for two days straight and third day he picked my call for scheduling the final interview.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest

As the job market recovers and tech talent becomes especially sought-after, some job seekers can be at a crossroads.

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.
