Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

Big law senior associate in Florida here seeking advice or perhaps representation from someone in the health benefits and/or disability insurance field.

I graduate this May with an BS in Industrial Engineering. Would it be super crazy to just take off 6 months and try to start working in January 2022? 3 semesters of back-to-back online college has completely drained me and I really just want to take some time off before I start working the rest of my life. Would this hurt my chances at getting a job later? I know I'll need to explain the gap in my resume but I don't think it would be an issue. Curious for professionals' opinions. Thanks!

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Chicago people- what is the best credit card to have? I just moved from Boston and currently have the CSR but wonder if there is a better one out there given limited benefits at the airports (eg lounges)

I have a boneheaded question I’m pretty sure I know the answer to. My partner can’t use my Hilton Honors account for an upcoming stay he is going to book, right? He doesn’t need my discount or anything - was just hoping that he could get my diamond benefits.

Single women in STEM, do you have to field questions about being single during the holidays like I do? I'm 27, and every single Christmas my mother or grandmother ask me if I've "met any nice boys" and "when I'm planning to make time for a family." I get that they're coming from a good place, but I'd love for them to ask me about my work and how fulfilling that is instead. Tips for (kindly) getting family off your back?

Currently pay 2900 and max out my Roth, contribute up to empl match to 401k, spend freely on what I want, and usually end up with 1-2k at EOM depending on how crazy I go. I guess I can afford it but want to gauge if this is unwise in people’s minds.

UP UP AND AWAY! I GOT 💎🙌💎 and NO WEEKEND PLANS

I’m 25, and terrified that having a family and serious partner will hold me back from having a successful career, travelling, and making the most of my life. I end up in relationships because I move around a lot, and struggle to make friends, but never really feel committed. I don’t know if this is because I’m scared of commitment or I’m just not dating the right guys.

A female friend of mine recently received a settlement in a sexual harassment action against her employer during mediation. Upon receiving her (female) attorney’s final bill she was blown away to discover that her attorney charged her almost five times what the attorney estimated she would charge for the mediation.

Does anyone know the average pay of a physician assistant emergency medicine working in Orange County?

Just accepted an offer with a psych startup. Not exactly the offer I was hoping for as I’m taking a slight pay cut ($73/hr) and it’s a 1099 position. I keep getting stuck on the 1099 piece because I’ll be working 40 hrs/wk, but have been told I’m not eligible to be a W2 employee. Needless to say, no benefits whatsoever. They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?
