I don’t feel stressed by unlimited PTO and I’ve had more than two weeks off in aggregate since 1/1. I do not feel guilty and my utilization is calculated the same way.

So far, I've only taken off 5 days in the year but am aiming to accumulate at least the industry standard of 21.

We have unlimited PTO and I did at my former firm also. I love it.

Take approximately what you would've taken before when you had set number of vacation days (20-25 days a year)

At the beach in Hawaii with a martini 365 days a year

Biggest concern is to make sure I take enough time off. When it was more formally tracked it was easier to know where I stood during the year.

Don't overthink it, the firm will let you know. Anything over 3 weeks of vacation at a time needs special approval . The talent consultant wasn't sure but he said that if bet vacation exceeds 5 weeks, there is a special approval process.

Wow 8 week ? Wouldn’t it impact your utilization ?

BD and internal involvement counts towards utilization at EY?

Guys, need one quick suggestion -

28th Jan(after 2 days) is my joining date in one of the organisation.. meanwhile I get a call from one of captive company for final managerial discussion scheduled for today itself.
I doubt they can release offer in just 2 days if all good, having said that tomorrow is holiday.
Ques- should I tell after 2 days I have to join one of organization. Or can I tell, still I am with current organisation and serving np, probably 60 days left and wait for their offer..

For context, I have unlimited PTO.

Hi Sharks
I am 25 years old with in hand salary of 1L(just from last month) and i want to buy a term insurance plan. My questions are:

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
