Wait, we get the Thursday of Memorial Day off too?

Roland Berger has 2 weeks of winter shutdown and extended out 4th of July break to 4 days + the weekend

Accenture has nothing and they force us to take PTO if our clients have shutdowns and we don’t have BD work to do

I had that happen my first year A2, and didn’t even know that was required. This year I got involved in some BD around the holidays because I knew my client was shut down and didn’t want to burn all my PTO. That’s the best way to make the best out of a non ideal situation

Protiviti just added 3 soft close Fridays ahead of Monday off weekends and 2 weeks at year end. You are not required to take time of just strongly encouraged if benched.

KPMG “kindly” reduced our PTO by 5 days for a firm shut down on week of July 4. We also close during the Holidays.

How much personal PTO do you get?

Bain requires 3 days at Christmas and it comes from person PTO.

How much personal PTO do you get?

Pwc does as well

I’m at my step dad’s lake house and it’s in a gated very upper class neighborhood. There was a holiday party last night and it was incredible how much people were gossiping and talking crap about other people at this party. Everyone was very “successful” and wealthy, and it was just so weird seeing all of this drama and gossip from people who seem to have it all.
