Accepted a new full time salary, exempt job. Start date Sept 8. First paycheck Sept 26th. I need to define a last day at my current employer. I want to ideally have at least a few days break beyond the weekend before starting the new job but I also need to maximize the pay I get with childcare bills and such. I'm a FT salary exempt employee at current job as well paid bi-weekly on the 1st and 15th. What should be my last day to get the most pay and possible get some break between jobs?

I’d make Sept 2nd or 3rd your last day. That way, you get paid through Labor Day. You’ll have a 3 day weekend, come back for a day or two, then have 4 or 5 days to unwind and transition. Depending on how your company calculates pay and whether your company co siders the Friday before Labor Day to be a half day or not, that could be several days more pay compared to quitting before the long Labor Day weekend.

They’re going to prorate your last paycheck if you don’t complete a full pay period. Does your company pay unused PTO when you leave? Some states require it and some don’t. You just have to pick how many days you want off and make that your last day. You’ll get paid for the days you work plus any PTO payout due.

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role.

I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
