My husband is in grad school and always has wanted to be a stay at home dad. Now that my hours are insane, I'm starting to see the benefits in it...

Thoughts on if I should ask him to work for a few years before we have kids (not touch ANY of his salary/save it) and then we will be used to living off one salary when the time comes?

Why is he in grad school if he wants to be a stay at home dad? Tell him to be a teacher or something.

Defiantly have the conversation but also consider whether you want to be working full time. Nothing wrong with it as both my wife and I work full time with 3 kids but make sure that you're OK with working full time If he's at home full time

Sure! I know stay at home dads and it works well for them.

That sounds smart OP. But hey I know nothing I don't have a spouse

My dads cousin was a stay at home dad and it worked great for him and his wife. His wife was CTO of a successful startup and he got to train for a black belt in tae kwon do after he took the kids to school.

If you plan to stay in consulting then having a stay at home spouse can be an awesome idea

I like the idea

What should I do? I have an offer with 185 base,8% 401k and 10k sign on. MS reached out for tech role but I need to have full scope. I have ci poly now and I get nervous when I go on it. MS rep did say if I fail they will try to place me elsewhere but that may just be hr talk.

Should I try to sign the 185 offer and try to see if I even get offer with MS and let the poly play out or should I just not worry about it and sign the current offer? I am pretty sure the compensation from MS is great.

Hi every one how is WLB at pepsico GBS?
What are all the perks and benefits that an employee can get which are not mentioned in the offer letter.

We have 5 attorneys (3 partners; 2 associates). Senior associate (who is being promoted to non-equity partner) is pregnant. We don’t have any sort of maternity policy but she will have 3 weeks of PTO to cash in. How do other firms handle cost of insurance premiums while ee is out? We currently cover ee portion and she pays for 100% of dependent cost. Is it reasonable to ask her to write check back to firm for her portion of dependent premiums? Assume she is taking full 4 mos off.

Mum is convinced this is because we see each other almost every day, and because we were set up, so didn’t have to ‘pursue’ each other. Any thoughts / suggestions on how to address this?
