Thoughts about taking paternity leave piecemeal? I.e one month full time then a 2-3 days a week for the rest of the two months so I can work while taking care of my child?

Generally consensus seems to be piecemeal leave = work full time under the guise of being part time. Ill likely take the leave as a full chunk as recommended. Thanks

You’ll need to be good at setting boundaries. Otherwise you’ll end up “working” full time

I’d do as much with your partner as you can. When she returns to work, then take any remaining leave in a chunk. It’ll maximize baby bonding and keep work away.

When I took my first mat leave I took 8 weeks full time and then 8 weeks part time. I told very few people I was “back.” I just kept my emails moving, and did some SME/writing/review work. I was already an individual performer though, and in a leadership position; had I been on a project team or a full time FTE this approach would have been much harder.

Take the full thing at once

I’ll probably take the leave in one chunk but do a hour or two of work after hours so I don’t fall behind. It’s tough relearning everything after a few months

5 years away from Reserve retirement. O3, O4 in 1-2 years. Retire as an O4. Anyone else been sticking it out and at the firm? Feel like it's going to be hard. I almost got out, but then when I stopped seeing the extra $600 a month, and realized what I would be losing with free healthcare and a pension...just doesn't seem like it's the best move to get out. Start grad school next year too. My commander is awesome and the unit is flexible, which is why I think I could stay. Just don't want it to hurt my consulting career. Thoughts?

I'm currently in house with great work life balance with terrible benefits (no fertility insurance coverage/no paid mat leave). I love my team but bored at work. Hiring right now for in house counsel at tech companies is crazy - I'd get double my salary plus fertility coverage, paid maternity leave and more exciting work. Downside is I know my work life balance will be gone. Planning for a kid in the next 6 months. Should I leave my job or stay?

Vanguard Retirement Fund or Personal Allocation of ETFs? (24M) Does anyone have an opinion on which is the better option? This is in addition to my 401K plan. It seems like the retirement funds have higher fees since they’re mutual funds, but the convenience of just being able to automatically invest each month, rather than try to stay diversified yourself, is appealing to me. Maybe I’m just new to this, but it’s hard to grasp what the ACTUAL cost of all the fees are for the retirement fund.
