First day back after a weeklong mid-case vacation. Eff. Halp.

PSA: reminder to schedule a day or two off in the upcoming weeks for a 4 day weekend (heck maybe even an entire week). It can do wonders for alleviating stress. Today I’ve gotten my oil changed, taken my dog to the vet, cleaned up my unibrow & have a facial scheduled. The rest of my day will be applying to jobs. I’ve only checked my email once and it feels so ridiculously good not to be tied to a laptop Monday morning. Take that time off ladies!

Tax question for any Accenture people who were part of the layoffs in August...did you see anything weird with state withholding on your W2? I relocated from VA to NJ in early 2020 and my state withholding switched to NJ when I moved. However (and I never noticed this at the time), all of my earnings, including severance, paid out PTO, and COBRA true up, are shown as taxable income in both states. My tax accountant is scratching his head.

Looking to take vacation in three weeks. Is there anywhere in Europe that’s allowing American citizens in? Any suggestions for international trips for a week.

Book recommendations for an upcoming vacation? Into smart, suspense novels, interesting nonfiction, or anything really. What have you read recently that you loved?

I quit my job and enjoying my first week of vacation between jobs. Today I measured my blood pressure, first time under 130/80 in years. LOL

Desperate to go on a vacation this year. Do you think cruises will be available around August/ September?

Do you guys truly disconnect on vacations? Is it frowned upon? I have a vacation next week but we have a proposal ongoing and feel like the expectation is for me to be available

Maybe a dumb question but does Deloitte gets paid time to look for a next job? And other big four?

Do big 4 typically pay out unused Paid Time Off days when leaving??

Uncle D trying to pull a fast one with these vacation hour rules....

How do i take time off while actively engaged on a project? We are so swamped but i desperately need this time away

Has anyone bought a vacation rental in Orlando? Any tips? Looking at reunion, windsors, champions gate. It’s all a little overwhelming. I’d plan to rent it out part of the time on vrbo and stay there maybe a month a year.

I want a vacation 🙃

If I'm forced to use my vacation, floater, etc. towards my study leave for CFE but I have vacation booked for right after CFE, will PwC still let me take that vacation as a "leave of absence"?

Is it wrong to take PTO during a probationary period (3 mos) with a new company?

Do any media agencies offer unlimited PTO? Seems like only new aged social or creative agencies have that option.

Is it bad to use up all my vacation days and personal days as a junior?

When it takes you two weeks of working to catch up from one week of vacation...seems like it should be the other way around ☠️

Do folks send their current and former clients holiday cards? Thinking of doing it to keep relationships.

If I have been staffed for pretty much the entire year (barring a couple of weeks) and I fall to 90% utilization because of PTO, trainings etc. will I be fine come year end?

Has anyone stayed in Federal consulting outside of the DC area? Fully remote? Just Curious if it is possible.

Hello Everyone, Hope you are doing well. I need a small help and advice from advice from all of you. Recently I received an offer from MNC but a some what wierd clause is included if I get rejected in the client interview company will decide my further deployment and engagement. Quote : "For the employees who are not so selected by Client for the offers; we will discuss further deployments and engagements with the Company at that point of time." Please help me understand it.

Who took that House of Cards sick day? 🙋🏼‍♂️ On ep 10.

Is anyone else also tired of applying, interviewing, being ghosted, getting offers lower than what you are currently making, etc? Is it taking a mental toll on you? What would you do now- give up, take a break, grow your current role, etc?

Lol when KPMG takes the chance to gloat about their nonexistent bench... It's because literally no one wants to work for you 👀

Has anyone switched from a life sciences boutique to an MBB? If so, what were the reasons, how early in your tenure did you switch, and how difficult was that transition?

In pre-Covid times, I would treat someone to coffee if they referred me/help me get a job somewhere... now in these times, thoughts on sending someone a $5 virtual Starbucks gift card + a thoughtful note to say thank you? Is the gift card overkill?

HELP! I just got a BCG consultant offer. PwC paid for my MBA. I still need to work here for 3 more years before not owing any of it back (currently would have to pay 100% of it if I left). Is the move worth it? Or should I maybe push to move to Strategy& (internal move) instead of BCG?

Anyone ever started at a big 4 as an undergrad campus hire, then moved to McK or BCG after 2-4 years, without going back to school?

What pays more at entry level, FAANG biz ops or MBB? What about at the next level (after 2 YOE or so)?

Trying to transition from Federal to Commercial. 5 total YOE mostly in health but definitely want to pivot out. Anyone hiring? Can anyone refer?
