For our very first episode, we are thrilled to welcome Jon, a Staff Software Engineer and Consultant. He is the proud father of two children (8 and 10). He generously shared his firsthand experiences with varying parental leave policies, highlighting the importance of understanding your options. Jon also provided practical strategies for how he and his wife manage the delicate balance of work, their relationship, and their children's needs. His candid discussion about the risks of parental burnout served as a powerful reminder for all working parents.
