Was anyone worried about completely forgetting everything or missing out/falling behind on key legal/regulatory developments while out on maternity leave? I’m a regulatory lawyer and starting maternity leave soon for several months… did anyone actually work or try to stay up to date on work (either by checking emails or otherwise) while on leave?

lol no. Focus on the baby and on your self. Everything will come back to you when you go back to work. For reference I had two kids in two different jobs - in house and transactional practice.

You chose to become a mother. Your baby and the mother in you deserve 100% of your attention. There is no regulatory development that you wouldn’t be able to learn within a week.

You’ll be way too tired for any of that. Relax and enjoy your leave.

You’ll have no time to do all of that whilst on leave :)

Yes worried but didn’t really do any work or try to keep up to date - too hard on leave and with baby and brain not working.

In negotiation for a Manager Role for BNY Mellon (grade K). Looking for some guidance on how hard I can push the issue with increasing my offer.
My convo with the HR recruiter was that he would push for $130k plus a sign on bonus. Offer is coming back at $125k with no bonus. Exiting my current position I'll be leaving a 3% pay increase, $12k bonus payout next month and full remote work on the table. Those considered it would be a lateral financial move for the 2023 year.

For everyone asking how much hike can we expect at this rating(vc/hc/ec), please understand the below points:
1. Rating is only applicable on variable pay
2. Hike % is independent of the rating
3. Hike depends on a lot of factors like your current salary, how is it comparable to the market or the level you are in, do you have a progression/promotion, etc

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
or I have to put down papers ?
