Update: Trans Coworker Stealing Breast Milk
Has anyone taken advantage of a sabbatical at EY or Deloitte? How tough IRL is it to do? I want to do a prof development thing that is 7 months long but not sure if tough to actually get approval for this sort of thing once working or if they just include under benefits to sounds good #consulting #deloitte #EY thanks in advance!
Very much a thing, I know a couple folks who did this at D. One did a coding boot camp another went overseas to volunteer. There’s many documentation on this on dnet. I think you have to write a short business case how this improves your professional development etc...
Thanks! Super helpful. Do you happen to know if it set them back? I’m prepared for it to be unpaid and basically put career on hold but curious if sets you back/ frowned upon. It would overseas volunteer type thing in my professional area.
Is the Sabbatical paid? I didn't know such thing exists! Does EY have such thing?
EY does have it. It's not paid. And it falls under leave of absence I believe.
EY offers leaves of absence up to one year, unpaid. From what I’ve seen I don’t think business case is terribly important but approval is highly dependent on your team and whether they’re over/under heads. I know one guy who took a one year sabbatical to go on a religious mission, came back after a year, and resigned within 3 months. Agree that progression will be negatively impacted.
Depends what it is - I’ve never taken one but know many colleagues who have at Deloitte. Net net there needs to be some sort of business case behind it and I’d also be prepared for a halt in progression. D usually doesn’t equate LOA into year end type of stuff so you may set yourself behind
Thanks! Good to know. Prepared for staying at current level but not crazy about going backward. Still very helpful
