I am CEO of a swedish VC-backed startup, and i am currently off 2 days a week for parental leave for 6 months. Yes, i am a man. And when we hire somebody in their 30s (man or woman), we can expect that for 6-12 months they will be gone on parental leave at some stage. (We have 4 people now out of 16 who will be on parental leave during 2020 - 3 of them men).


Let me guess, business is part of the AI/Cloud hypetrain.


Did you guess that without even looking at my post history?


This is not so unusual around Europe I think, I'm off 3 days a week for 7 months for parental leave (in Germany).


Can I ask what your startup does? (also located in Sweden, so curious about the kinds of companies started here)
