Yep. Consulting has given 3 weeks of PTO util, but this isn’t enterprise wide

Yuuuuup

Doesn't K have unlimited PTO? So if you took PTO for the whole year you'd have 100% utilization?

Yeah

Half and half. First three weeks of PTO you are given credit, second three weeks and beyond eats into your utilization

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
