EY is very generous with PTO and sick days and also an additional week off during summer/winter. How do the other big 4 firms compare when it comes to PTO?

Dude we don’t even have enough personal days to cover winter and summer break. That’s not very generous. Why do I have to dip into vacation for when the firm decides to take off?

PwC is “unlimited” sick days. PTO is okay?

We get the week of Christmas off. Last year and this year we’ll have week or 4th of July off.

25 days of PTO plus holidays. That combined with how flexible work schedules are means I’m never worried about time off

ACN you accrue up to 240 hours that can rollover, any excess of 240 will not rollover.

Slalom 18 days but don’t need to take PTO for basic stuff like dentist, doctor, car stuff etc

Just so you know, the EY ‘week off’ in the summer isn’t free, they’re forcing you to use your PTO

They ‘ask’ us to use pto for those weeks the firm is closed. I’m ok with a small reduction in my utilization!

21 days PTO, no sick days, and we have to use our own PTO to cover Christmas-NYE break

Mildly 🙄 at the EY complainers. After Winter and July 4th breaks, EY is giving 4 extra holidays a year. Yea, you have to use some PTO at a defined time, but it’s also advance notice dedicated time off when e everyone else is off (eg mostly unplugged). Seniors also gained 7 days of PTO this year and a heck of a deal bonus wise! Anyway, Deloitte is 28 days off/year for M in US (all in: sick floating vacation) and 13 holidays.

Why do Big 4 firms interview you for a specific position level and then try to make you come in below that level...

That would be a lateral move for me in terms of level which be okay if at least it was a good pay increase but Their quoted pay range for the lower level would make it almost a lateral move financially too..
