I work in US Tax and had an experience of 3 year. Had got an offer of 14Lpa in another big4,but still don't feel like continuing in US Tax. As taxation is something I do feel like I don't want to make a career anymore, because of work life balance & also as it specialised. Please suggest other option worthy to make a career shift. You guidance will be extremely helpful. My highest qualification is M.com.

I suppose previously it was understood that you were taking your accrued vacation which belonged to you. And that’s why it was easier to take time off. But with the new policy, that PTO (since it will no longer be accrued) doesn’t necessarily belong to you. Which will make it harder to take time off.
In business consulting you have to request permission if it’s over a week, and it’s up to the practice lead to approve. I’ve always been super protective of my vacation time, but they can be dicks about it. A few years I had a family member who was quite ill and I requested time off to get back west to see them. Engagement leadership asked if I could delay it a few days, which I reluctantly agreed to, but I wish I never had. They passed away before I could make it home, and never got the chance to say goodbye.
That is awful I’m so sorry
I personally struggle with having to alert so many teams/people about PTO and not having one centralized place they (and I) can rely on for notice. Inevitably a project from months ago resurfaces and the management freaks out about the vacation I “didn’t tell them about”
