No. Vacation or catch up on sleep/errands/home upgrades/exercise/cooking. Whatever. I could fill a few months of vacation time easy.

Can you suggest a good company that allows remote working for data science consultant ? I have a family abroad that I need to visit twice a year. My current company does not allow international remote work even tho I’m fully remote. And I don’t get enough PTO to take 3-4 weeks off twice a year.

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation. In the interim, she told the other partner and he blew up. He is now making insane demands and threatening to call my future employer if i don’t meet them. Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.

I need to make a decision by tomorrow:
Current base salary: $55k
Current bonus: 10.5% (~$5k)
Vacation: 2 weeks

New offer base salary: $90k
Bonus: 12% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

Counter offer: $80k
Bonus: 14% (~11k)
