What is Accenture's parental leave policy..

A1 is pretty much right - a person (typically a woman) is entitled to 8 weeks if they give birth to a child. This is called maternity leave in the policy (1491).

Either parent, regardless of where they have situated themself on the gender spectrum, is eligible to receive 8 weeks of Primary Caregiver leave.

In my experience, generally mothers will take 16 weeks (Maternity + Primary Caregiver) and fathers will take 8 (Primary Caregiver only). Secondary caregiver leave is 2 weeks but typically I’ve seen fathers take the full 8. I imagine that this would only change if two people who both work at Accenture had a baby, in which case they could not both take the primary caregiver leave.

8 weeks paternity, 16 Maternity

If you’re quoting policy sure.

Practically speaking, unless both are working at accenture, that’s what people are eligible for

Thanks folks! Can the primary/ secondary caregiver leave also be used to care for elderly parents?

Not to my knowledge - we just have the standard unpaid FMLA leave. I think six states have passed legislation that provides paid leave in these circumstances.

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?

I am currently in ID and wanting a miracle in-house position. I recently learned that the VP of Lit for an ins. carrier was promoted leaving her position open. I’m unsure if they’re planning to fill that vacant role. I’d like to approach her about my general interest of going in house (asking her how she did it herself) and mention my interest with her company. I know this is a sensitive topic as she gives me cases. I have a great professional and personal rapport with her. Any tips?
