Most large companies in Silicon Valley give men between four and eight weeks of paternity leave, which you can take any time you want (not just right after the baby is born).
- smt88 11y agoDo you have a sense (even anecdata) of how common it is to take advantage of that? Do people feel comfortable taking the full period for leave? I don't know what it would mean if they didn't, though. I think many successful people have trouble believing that their work will be done well in their absence.
