Considering an in-house offer (currently at an Am Law 200 in a MCOL), I’m moving from a very toxic work environment, in a niche practice area so ideally just want to get out ASAP. It’s fully remote with 24 PTO days (combination of floating holiday, personal time and PTO), the downside is only 4 holidays - New Year’s Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Independence Day. Looking for any insight/thoughts? I have asked and additional PTO is not possible (it increases after 3 years of employment)

The PTO is reasonable actually. I am in house and get 11 holidays and 15 PTO.

I have less PTO and a few more holidays but it works out to the same time off. The only thing I would ask is if everyone on the team can be off at the same time for the other big holidays (memorial / Labor Day, day after thanksgiving, etc ) or how it works.
