Any recommendations for when to leave the firm and how much PTO to take/how much to cash out? I’ve heard from people that a break between work and school is smart, but would love some advice!

It depends what you want to do in that time. I took six weeks and it was perfect... gave me time to travel for a couple of weeks and just chill at home before moving. I also avoided taking PTO in the months before leaving, so I maxed out the payment (6 months plus some left over from the prior year). The key is to communicate your planned exit date to your team leadership to avoid surprises, and help them find a replacement (assuming a long term project).

Thanks SC1, that’s really helpful! Did talent give you a hard time taking the PTO up until you left/did you bill GAA at all? Again, really appreciate the insight!

No, I meant I *didn’t* take any PTO, so I maxed out the payment. If you’re staffed then you can take or not PTO, they don’t care. If you’re not staffed then it may be an issue taking PTO through your end day (just quit and get the payoff). I rolled off my project on a Thursday and went to the office on Friday to leave my laptop and phone, etc.. and so just billed GAA for that Friday. They’ll give you specific instructions, do’s and don’ts, etc, so no need to stress. Just pick a tentative date that works for you and communicate early to project leadership.
