Benefits enrollment has started and my firm is offering to purchase upto 5 days ,with a $30 charge per pay period for a day..I may not need the extra days but wanted to hear your opinion,does the cost look decent? Does it make sense to enroll for this benefit? Do other firms offer such benefit ?

Days like PTO days?

$720 for 5 days? I’d do that

It’s $720 for a day..

I just bought an extra 5 days and it's costing me 35 dollars biweekly. I also get 170 hours not including what i bought on January 1st. Plus we get 2 hours of PTO for every federal holiday.

How do you buy PTO days? We don’t have anything like that at EY

EY used to (10+ years ago). You could buy 5 or 10 additional days. They would take the pay out of your paycheck from March 15 to Aug 31 (this is when we got paid 2x/month).

If you didn't use all of the days you bought, you got paid back on Oct 15.

I could be wrong on the dates but it's broadly accurate.

Heh…can I sell PTO days?

Because we all know there are plenty of folks who take time off without tracking the time.

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
