New grad has the same sort of responsibilities in personal lives as experienced people... there rights should be the same... in an employee friendly organization.... so it depends on your org

Agree with OI1. Assuming your org isn't punitive when it comes to pto and all, being a recent grad shouldn't make a difference in how long you wait to use them.

I think maybe wait 6-8 months to go nuts. Definitely have a work life balance, but you want to prove yourself there.
