Can I quit my job at Amazon and use my vacation allotment to push my employment time through the vesting date? I want to get my bonus.

I would "soft-quite" - Take your vacation time and give your two weeks when you get back.

It will work if you take your vacation first and then put in your notice. Only fool proof way to make you’re you hit your vesting.

If you put in your notice and then take vacation, it’s going to be up to your manager how they deal with that.

IMO, just work until vest date, then put in you notice, and cash out vacation in your final paycheck. It’s not worth coasting and then bailing. Secure your cash, put your 2 weeks and leave on good terms.

I’m assuming that’s a sizable amount of money. Is it really worth risking it?

I don’t have experience with Amazon practices but I’d proceed carefully. With at will employment, you’re not guaranteed the runway you’re seeking once you give notice. Exiting someone who’s given notice earlier is very common and you may find you might be transitioned out earlier and miss your goal. This exact thing happened to someone I know at a large publically traded company. I’d just take your vacation and resign after unless you receive confidence in how this would be handled.

You have to make sure you are employed on that vesting date. That is the number one priority. Take your vacation, then turn in your notice on your vest date.

This is a really good question. I've never heard of that being done before.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
