Do all consulting firms (or maybe most companies in general) have you start the year with zero PTO and accrue it throughout the year? Not use to this coming from a job where we were given it all at the start of the year (no rollover tho)

You can use negative PTO at pretty much any firm, and in my many years in consulting and industry I have yet to see someone not get PTO even if it hadn’t been accrued as yet.

I’ve had three jobs (two B4 firms), all of them have had the PTO accrue throughout the year. I will say that the industry job was way more lax about using pto in general, never had a request rejected, and there was no util target to hit.

I’ve never had a PTO denied either. 15 years at Accenture. I just schedule and tell me lead in advance when I’ll be off.

Accenture does the former and you start with zero and accrue per pay period

like

I've never worked for a company where accrued PTO doesn't roll over (up to a limit of ~20-25 days, depending on the company).

Accrued PTO is the accounting standard, unless you have unlimited. How the company enforces rollover and the use of negative PTO can vary.

Not ZS. Always accruing from day1

Hello fishes 🐠🐋🐟,

Please help me out here.... Your input will be really great.

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I am trying to apply job for many companies since last month, and i haven't got any response from any of them.

Are there any Organizations still out there who are hiring/open for referral and are in position to handle recession.

Please comment your thoughts. It might make someone's day.

Thanks.
