What is KPMG's parental leave policy for partners versus employees (MDs and below)? Trying to plan life and figure out if it makes a difference to have a child before or after one makes partner in terms of parental leave benefits. Thanks!

Deciding to have a child based on parental leave policy shows grim state of employment. I would presume working for Big 4 you can save enough that leaves are immaterial to enjoy birth of child.

Be definition of primary care giver which means your spouse can’t care for the infant and you need to do so.
Yes. It’s based on trust. They asked but not verified.

It’s funny you say that because it doesn’t matter if it’s before or after making partner. The kid you will end up caring about is your grandchild and trying to make up for the time you lost

Ouch. That was way harsh. But maybe it hurts cause it’s true.

Not sure how it is at KPMG, but in every firm I’ve worked at partners can pretty much take as much time off as they feel like. How you deal with the impact to your teams and your numbers is up to you to manage.
