Not KPMG. Our paternity leave is horrendous

like

It’s not up to the team how much leave you take. The policy is 2 weeks for non-primary caregiver and 6 weeks for primary, but in my experience anyone can take the leave as the primary.

6 weeks is still terrible compared to other firms, and designating parents as primary vs. non-primary seems a little 1950s

EY has 4 months maternity and paternity leave 100% paid. EY also gives $50K in medical and $10K in prescriptions as a fertility and/or adoption benefit. This is huge! Currently taking advantage of the latter with the hopes of using the former benefit.

like

Currently at PwC and have close friends who are also parents at EY and Deloitte: my short answer is Deloitte outright, then EY and PwC after.

D has 16 weeks paternity leave
Massive family planning help for adoption/surrogacy
Like $3000 balance to use for emergency backup care for kids when nanny/babysitter can’t come on short notice

Lots of other stuff but those are at top of mind.

like

Even though my kids are teens/college age now EY has a great paternity/maternity/adoption/ Invitro fertilization program.

like

Deloitte has really good maternity leave and EY ‘s isn’t terrible either

EY is 16 weeks fully paid for birth or adoption - men and women - no restrictions. See other EY post above.

I’m going to be a dad! But I have some questions. When should I tell my manager/teams? I’m up for senior promotion this year, will this impact that promotion? For those of you that work in public what tips do you have for managing your work and family responsibilities? For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
