Does Accenture pay you for all of your leave when you quit or does it depend on your time at the company?

I’m expecting to go on maternity leave this summer, but I hate working at my current company.

Unable to decide to leave my current company. They are actively blocking my growth and I got an offer for a title promotion, but a significant pay cut. The new job offers $100k, 26 days pto, hybrid 2/3 remote, 37.5 hours a week. My current job (7yrs) offers $102k, 42 days pto, office optional 35 hrs a week.

Does anyone do trusts and estates at an AmLaw firm? I always thought that was more of a boutique practice area. Was contacted by a recruiter, and while I'm happy with almost everything about where I'm at, the way people discuss AmLaw salaries, I feel like I should consider it since it would probably be a significant jump in salary. I'm at 120k TC, and the only way it's going up is with increased bonuses or share of originations (and I am not a networker).

Is it worth talking to a trusted partner at my firm before I try to lateral for higher pay? I’m a 3rd year in management-side L&E at a well-regarded mid-sized firm in a major city. Our minimum is 1950, but I’m paid $100k less than 3rd years in big law (imo my firm is charging too little for our work). I also found out that I only make 3.7% more than my coworker who’s a 1st year. I like it here & don’t really want to leave, but I’m clearly being undervalued and deserve to be paid what I’m worth.
