Considering an exit opportunity to industry, however the PTO time available with public accounting is so much better than the two weeks granted with my potential industry role. Have others been able to successfully negotiate additional PTO right from the start upon changing to a new industry position?

Yep. Last firm: five weeks. Industry job offered three. I said, hey, this is a step down on my resume could you at least match my PTO - and they did. What they didn’t know was I was getting a 60% salary bump cause my pa firm was garbage.

Yes I was able to negotiate for 4 weeks. I didn’t end up taking the offer but they agreed to upping PTO from 3 weeks to 4.

Typically if you negotiate salary and they won’t budge there then you can ask for more pto and they will be more willing.
