AAQ: Most of the major national law firms and investment banks offer up to 6 months paternal leave for their associates and VPs (an entry level position in the banks)… most with full pay for the first several months. some for all 6 months. The policy in our firm and many others also grants a separate category of paternal leave for adopting parents. If a woman supporting her husband in kollel has completed law school or with an MBA working in a bank is eligible, she could take off for months with pay and still have an income. I’m not sure how often the paid-leave option can be taken for those contemplating big families.
