How long is PwC’s maternity leave?
4
I like my job alot. I work with smart people. I have a ton of flexibility. All in (salary, bonus, equity) I make $300k mcol. It's kind of a dead end, I'm not gonna make partner and it's PE backed so I could lose my job at any time. At some point I'll probably be laid off because that just seems to be the new reality. I struggle with looking for a new role because I like my role. But also I feel lazy just chilling. Sanity check if I should try to jump and get back on the escalator or enjoy it?
Morale at McKinsey feels like it’s at an all-time low. Ongoing layoffs have gutted internal teams, leaving those who remain fully checked out. Senior leadership seems totally disconnected, asking for updates from teams that were eliminated months ago. Consultants are more stretched than ever, leaving less time to develop the judgment, client skills, and problem solving that once defined the firm. This place is quickly becoming a relic of the past
Parental leave is 12 weeks but you (assuming to be mom) can take short term disability on top of it. Search it on HQ, you will get the full details
You can take up to 6 months fully paid using the leave, STD and PTO - and then your first month back (so 7th month if you max out) is 60% phased return (3 days on)
Nice.
Do most take parental leave + STD for a total of ~4 months? Or does anyone just take 3 months?
You can also add on any PTO you have saved up - I did.
For comparison reference for those considering making a jump - both maternity/paternity leave at Deloitte is 4 months with moms being able to add on STD on top of that I believe.
