My firm won’t grant me additional time (2 months) to take Paid Family Leave in CA before my child’s first birthday, so I plan to resign soon and then take it. It’s obviously easier to find a new job while you have a current job. How long is it taking to find a new role lately?

I’m kinda confused. If you’re entitled to paid family leave why aren’t you taking that?

I have had such a hard time finding a new full time position. I’m sorry to read about your paid family leave being an issue. Just pray to the heavens and maybe you’ll get your paid time off. Best of luck to you Mr. Lawyer. Hugs and kisses 💋

I am entitled to wage replacement from the state. Not job protection for Paid Family Leave.

Six months ago, I had job offers within two weeks of applying. However, in my opinion, I think it will really depend on your area of practice and skillset. My corporate and in-house friends have been looking for three and six months respectively.

If it's not about money since your spouse brings home plenty, and you want time to bond, then it seems the timing is a secondary concern. Bond with the baby for as long as it takes.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales.

How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

I am interviewing with a company. Last week, one week after the interview, my hiring manager reached out to me with a couple of clarifying questions. We talked then I sent him recommendation letters from my previous employers. He said that I should have an answer from them this week whether I get an offer or not. I haven’t heard back since and yesterday I reached out to the recruiter to get some status updates. She has not responded. It’s already Friday. Is it a bad sign or am I overthinking?
