Thanks MD1. Just to clarify, I’m expecting an offer shortly and company typically offers new employees 3 weeks to start.

I have but it was from 2 to 3 weeks. Ultimately declined the offer. IMO it can't hurt to try.

Nice, what was your script?

Hello Fishes,
What are your leave plans?
(Year end is nearing, most of the accounts must have or will move to Code Freeze period and some of the leaves will expire by year end).

1. No leave plans at all.
2. Utilise some part of leave.
3. Utilise all leaves for Vacation.
4. Utilise all leaves for Upskill/Reskill.

How do I ask for more vacation time? I’ve been at this firm 2 years and only get 10 vacation days a year. Days get increased in year 4 to 15 where they max out. I’m beyond burnt out because I don’t have the time I need to fully rehab my mental health. Any suggestions?
