What are people’s opinions of starting a job and taking parental leave a couple months in? I ask generally but am also curious specific to mckinsey.

Right. Given this is just my opinion (at Deloitte they’re pretty liberal with their family leave policy), but if you mentioned from the get-go (during your interview or whenever) that you’re planning to take family leave, then don’t know why there would be any issues.

The other person said 1500 hours which is about 9 months so I don’t know if that’s their official policy or an unwritten rule.

You have to work 1500 hrs or so in the prior year to be eligible for it

Thanks for sharing but this conflicts with my offer details. I’m more asking about the unspoken politics of it

Hi Fishes, howz the leave policy at mphasis?? Thanks

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

Thinking along the lines of:
- Platforms you'd keep away from
- Gigs that people have missed the boat on by now or instead that have just taken off only now
- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?
