EY how much PTO do you use per year? If I had unlimited PTO, I would use the PTO I was allotted under the prior structure plus maybe 2-3 extra days. I would be scared to go too high above what my previous PTO was

I feel like there’s a lot of quiet people not taking time off, not sure how to ask for it, and not posting here. My understanding is the new program isn’t working well for most people, but you’re unlikely to hear them admit it.

My goal was to take the same allotment as before, plus a few... but honestly I'm not even keeping track. I'm taking time off when it makes sense to do so and when I need to. And it's working well.

Yes that’s the benchmark I have set for myself. I had 25 days of PTO before this unlimited thing kicked in this year.

Apart from unlimited PTO there is also 10 personal days for health reasons and to provide care for family. So it’s 25 + 10 each year.

With all the work we have you should be lucky if you can take all your vacations

I have unlimited PTO and am taking ~6-7 weeks (not including firm holidays) this year. Have taken about the same in prior years as well without any issues in performance/promotions.

Most people I talk to are following that same mentality. We had 25 days before excluding the 12+ (ballpark) firm holidays which is more than enough PTO, IMO.

I imagine if someone takes way more PTO then they “should” take it would reflect negatively on their reviews. I don’t know of any metric that factors PTO into utilization or anything.

Around 3-4 weeks for me. Even with a move to unlimited PTO, we still get 20 days off. So adding in a few Fridays, extended weekends, a week off, etc, I think it rounds out to be about the same as before

Taking the same as previously allocated, if not a few more days. There so many rules in place with the so called “unlimited pto” which is really just flex vacation.

It’s unlimited, partners are really stressing we take time off too. As long as your utilization % is good they don’t deny it. Anything more than 2 weeks requires partner approval, below that we just need to get manager approval on our current engagements

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
