Does BlackRock have holidays off? And if so what does that look like around Christmas, 4th of July etc. is it just the day of the holiday or do they give disconnect days?

You’re either not valuable to your company and/or your job isnt that important if you’re able to take PTO and not at least send some e-mails.

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

How much should I charge a friend to watch 4 dogs at their home over Christmas weekend (2 nights)? The dogs don't have any special needs or medications. I've dog sat for other people in the past but always for free. I also have had dogs of my own for most of my life. I want to start charging people for my services but also want to be reasonable since this is a friend and don't plan to charge a holiday fee. We live in St. Louis. Would $40 per day/night be reasonable?
