Unlimited vacation time. This sounds like a dream come true, but it's actually a trap. Employees feel guilty taking too much vacation time so they end up working more hours than ever before.

As a Brit I had no problems taking between 6 and 8 weeks a year when I worked at a company that offered unlimited PTO. It’s really not difficult to do. 3 weeks in the summer, 3 weeks over the Christmas holidays then the rest used up by taking odd days off here and there, or long weekends. PTO in this country is generally a joke.

Identity Protection. You literally can get the service for almost nothing through your bank or credit card company. The vendor we have is basically a monitoring service that can help you when there is a breach, but you have to be engaged and initiate the process for it to work.

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -

2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.
