BCG 🐠- What is up with the 15 days accrued PTO policy, seems super low for a company thats rated, “best to work for”. Is there something within that, which I am missing?

I see where OP is coming from, I had 20 days of straight PTO post undergrad at a Big 4 and 15 days plus the opp to buy 5 more at my pre-MBA industry job. Not sure why BCG isn’t a little more generous to As and Cs...although I think the lack of utilization targets does make up for some of the difference. Also yet to test the “going negative” thing, hopefully that can get me through in a pinch...

No. That’s just vacation. Sick and, separately, personal (eg for sick kids) are unlimited

Huh? It’s 15 for As and Cs, 20 for PLs and Ps. Rollovers have to be used by 6/30 the following year. And I’ve had no prob going negative, even at year end

@bcg1 I feel like that is a little, especially if it also takes a while to accumulate. Whats the 11 paid days? Not sure if you get xmas eve off or anything.

BCG1, do those 15/20 days include sick days?

Might be what OP is getting hung up on. I get 26 days of PTO for example, but that includes both PTO and sick days

I want to buy a large TV for Cyber Monday but have always been lower income. I would feel bad having family over with an expensive TV. I don't really need it. Our house is still very much low budget. I haven't made any real upgrades since getting a new job.

Is this a weird rationalization or logical? I am kind of torn so I considered just using that money for a vacation and maybe buying a TV next year... though I'll likely do this again at that time.

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month.

I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
