My wife is telling me to start looking for a new job now and I prefer to wait until after the 3 - 4 month parental leave when my kid is born in late July. Her position: You’re not likely to find what you want for several months so you should start looking in May. What does everyone else think?

Congrats! But hold on a second. Don’t you want to enjoy your parental leave with your new child and then bounce after taking a full leave? What happens if you have a new job 3 months from now and you are a new daddy with a newborn at home? You ready to go all in? Also don’t underestimate the importance of having insurance during birth and first few months of several pediatrician visits.

I actually had the same exact thought process. Income and health insurance are not a problem. We are using her company’s health insurance. I think I’ll get the resume and story ready in the meantime and then focus on the kid. The ideal situation is that I join a project in a practice I’m interested in switching into (partner support in practice I want to join) prior to my leave and then jump onto another project there afterwards and make a full transition.

I’ve taken parental leave 2x and have another one coming up (6mo old)

I agree with your wife that it takes time to find a job, now more than ever...

Start looking now but you mat have to be transparent later in interviews about the parental leave

Wife is always right! 😉

Job search always takes longer than you think. Start looking now

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

My marriage is beyond repair I think. Husband just said we keep having the same conversations over and over in the past year about things we’ve been trying to fix. Is a year enough time? 11 years together for reference. And I don’t think his statement is true - he literally mentioned one of those things last week that he was happy about. I just can’t do it with these vague statements in arguments.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
