Anyone ever been to Portugal in November? I have some time off during thanksgiving and there’s some RT flights for $500 but it sounds like November is the cold & rainy season. I’ve always wanted to go though, but the weather makes me nervous. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any advice on how to go on vacation (beach) with two kids (1 and 3)? My husband and I like adventure and I can't imagine leaving kids with relatives.. do you hire a caretaker for when we want to do more adventurous things during the day?

Took PTO today - what should I watch on Netflix/Hulu/HBO??

I’m an Accenture US employee, we just received an email stating we are required to take PTO during the week of Christmas. Is this legal?

Anyone know Accenture’s PTO Policy?

Any downside to buying vacation days? From what I understand if they’re not used you get your money back. Am I missing something?

Why are people from EY posting on here? Enjoy your time off. Disconnect from work for 11 days.

Just wrapped up a 10 day vacation - didn’t go too overboard on food and stayed pretty active but drank almost every day (not normal for me). Could this be why I’m so bloated and feeling large?

I took PTO today (to my job) and worked today (to my family) and just sat in my home office on the internet

I learned the other day that Deloitte counts PTO against your chargeability. Is this common with most firms? (ACN doesn't count PTO in chargeability calculations.)

Would you put your 2 weeks in before or after your 2 week vacation? I'm thinking after

Starting Wednesday after a 4 month summer vacation...

Guys wanna plan some nice vacation during Christmas. Preferably on east coast and trying to avoid flights if possible. Me and my wife and some couple friends might join. Any suggestions? Have you guys started traveling for leisure? What are some fund safe things ya’ll have been doing? Really need to get out of this routine! TIA

Planning to accept another job soon but have a scheduled 1 week vacation starting next week. When should I put in 2 weeks notice that I’m leaving? Is it a risk that they withdraw approval of my long-approved PTO? New job wants me to start ASAP so I’d feel bad delaying start dat over a month if the solution is to wait until after vacation to give 2weeks notice

What do you all do once you hit hours and want to coast (or just not work at all) for the rest of the year? I recently took vacation so feel weird taking another back to back, and my existing matters are still busy. Should I just do it? Could probably take 3 weeks completely off and still hit hours.

When you leave a firm, do you get paid for all your accrued PTO?

Does Deloitte pay out PTO when you leave ?

Anyone know of any Tumi promo codes for the holiday session?

I recently moved to Sweden to work as a consultant. But I'm facing problems with all documents issuing processes, that take too long, and without all the documents I can't open a bank account to receive my salary. I'm starting to freak out about this. It seems it's a common situation for foreigners but most consultant companies don't do much for help us - I know some people that only received their salaries after 3 months. As I'm too stressed about it, I can't sleep well and focus at work...

Received an offer in hardware/tech (think the Ciscos, Western Digitals, Intels) in San Jose. Base 120k, 10k signing bonus, 15k relocation, 12k RSU over 4 years (3k per year). I have 2 YOE in consulting. Is this a competitive offer?

Hi all, my H1B got approved today and I am waiting on the actual physical notice. In parallel I have a L2 EAD extension request in process. My H1B is valid from oct 1 only. Can I withdraw my L2 tomorrow? Is it okie if I am out of status for nine days? I am worried that the L2 will get approved. If it does get approved, what do I do?

Currently in the US but interviewing for a UK-based firm and role. The comp level they are throwing around is £250k TC. Is this reasonable for a Director-level role with 12 YOE? My comparator would be wait 18-24mo to become a consulting partner - in the US that starts at $450k/£325k. For the purposes of this question, assume I’m optimizing for initial comp, not long term potential, and not livability, Intl experience, WLB, CoL etc. Thanks!

Hiring a PMO role in Puerto Rico. DM if interested. *not a strategy role*

I was due for a promotion but then covid hit, and during the peak of layoffs/furloughs, I was given the run-around that we have agency wide promotion freezes, etc. Over the past month, a handful of people have been promoted. I know everyone's situation is different but I can't help feeling snubbed. How do I know whether they are genuinely trying to promote me and can't, versus them stringing me along for as long as possible? I dont want it to come to having to bring another offer to the table..
