Anyone else get anxious about requesting PTO? I know it's so stupid to feel anxious about it but I still do.

I don’t have to request, I just send my OOO and take it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just make sure you have a backfill plan. Don’t feel guilty about taking PTO.

I really don’t request PTO. I just tell people that I’m taking it.

Your company doesn't feel anxious about taking away your unused PTO when you exceed your firm's carryover limit (if you have one), so don't feel bad about using it before they do. Schedule it early, find a reliable person to put in your OOO Auto reply, and get yourself some fun in the sun.

M1 - agreed. I don’t think I’ve actually requested vacation since my first year unless it’s last minute. Normally have my vacation days planned months in advanced and just let people know I’ll be out that week. Never have had any problem.

AM1 - 1) no one there goes on vacation. Seems sad. 2) why would you take it when on the bench, that’s like my extra vacation though rarely happens so maybe that’s why I view it that way

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
