I’ve been offered a time-limited W2 position, which gives me benefits at a company even though the role only will exist for 2 years. The company offers paid maternity leave, but it is not listed as one of the benefits in my offer letter. Is it normal for not every benefit to be included in the offer letter? Or should I take this to mean that if I fall pregnant during this limited engagement, I would not be eligible for any of the maternity benefits that the company provides its employees?

It’s something you should ask for clarification on and get in writing before you sign the contract. Companies are not required to give you paid maternity leave but FMLA does require them to not fire you for taking the time. There are seniority requirements (time in job) for that FMLA though.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
