What is the maternity/paternity leave policy at your firm (in the US)? EY is 16 weeks for both. What is the ideal amount of time for leave in your opinion?

16 is good. International Labor Org calls for 14 weeks and we should strive to be better than required

I believe 16 weeks as well (plus short term disability for mothers), but somebody correct me if I’m wrong

14/ 16 weeks (c-section), so 6 or 8 weeks short term disability and 8 weeks mat leave then whatever vacation time you have up to 6 months

D2, do you suspect this can lead to increased discrimination against hiring women? I have no data nor personal experience to substantiate this suspicion, just trying to put myself in an employers shoes. Losing an employee for a year seems extreme and very hard to manage for smaller businesses.

I’m in Canada, and there’s over a year of leave that can be shared between the two parents. At my firm I’ve seen this lead to a lot more fathers at the firm taking time off too rather than fewer females being hired

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

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?

I feel like a failure as a parent at times - my youngest daughter is extremely anxious about middle school and in the first week has already had two emotional breakdowns. She is so worried about people picking on her and not having friends. I have reached out to the counselor and principal with hopes to get her some support in school, but I can’t do anything to make it better. I feel like I should be able to do more than encourage her but I know some battles she had to fight on her own.

I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
