Isn’t that a good thing? That way women aren’t put in an awkward position of having to ask and feeling like their chances of landing the job are slimmer because the company thinks work is not their priority, etc. if I was a woman, I’d want to know. Having said that, the last job I interviewed for shared it with me during the process.
As a man, I’ve never had it brought up. I understand you would be annoyed. However, I wish more of my interviews did go into the benefits and policies so I can also make an informed decision about continuing the hiring process. I’ve never felt like I could ask these things in an interview, which I have wanted to.
Thanks - I’m not offended when they tell me, I’ve just noticed it as a continued trend. when I speak to male engineering friends, they tell me that they wish recruiters would bring it up but it’s not actively discussed or they need to ask. I think part of it is assumption on the recruiters side and part of it is because of pride so you’re all right.
These policies are expensive investments that the firms make. I can tell you that these things really matter. I took 8 weeks and it was huge (I’m a guy). If I were considering leaving for another firm the parental leave policy is something I would absolutely factor into that decision.
If a company feels that their leave is a differentiated benefit that helps them stand out I could see it. I would hope they are highlighting it to all candidates (assuming the leave is extended to both parents).
Oh boy.... no, it most likely does not happen for obvious reasons.... Additionally, for most men it’s a challenge to have them take the full paternal leave... nothing biased against you - just kinda obvious
Male here. I've had it brought up in discussions around total benefits packages.
Also, really strong leave policies signal a commitment to invest in and retain top performing women. Women disproportionately leave consulting after their first child - men less so.
If a firm is really forward leaning in these area that means they’re likely doing other things as well to create a future where more of our partners are female.
Am female and no one ever said this to me.
Same here
