This is my first time racking to secondary and now after a week I'm noticing sediment on the bottom that resembles a slim yeast cake. So is this ok to sit on for a couple months, or should I rack to tertiary?

You're fine. Don't rack

That's normal. Not sure why it needs to stay in secondary for months

What style of beer is it? Unless its some kind of specialty beer that needs extended time, package that sucker up!

I always have sediment in my secondary's. Some guys even recommend not using a secondary at all.

Even a slim cake can break down eventually and cause bad flavors. Unless it's for a specific reason like dry hopping (which shouldn't take months) the beer should be packaged.

Secondary is useful as a tactic to drop remaining sediment roused in the transfer process when using powdery and less flocculative yeast and when one can't cold-crash the fermenter.
