Hehe. Have fun!

Last time I took a 2 week vacation, the firm laid off my entire team and I found out I was taking over a director’s workstream as an SA.

Have been afraid to take a vacation ever since

Unless you fuck up and don’t get someone to cover the work that needs to be done, it’s your project team’s fault, not yours, if something isn’t done while you’re gone. Plan ahead and leave those weights at home!

Awesome OP! Where are you going?

Also, analyst1 gotta have those boundaries. Establish ahead of time you will be unavailable and the team will adjust

Have a blast OP. Just curious - is 2.5 weeks a long vacation in the US? My last holiday was a month...

Very few consultants actually take a month. Usually longest is 2 weeks

Any chance anyone can explain what the holiday allowance in the Netherlands is?
I've been interviewing and heard the salary range us 47-52 + mobility. Does that include the allowance etc?

Thank!

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

I need to make a decision by tomorrow:
Current base salary: $55k
Current bonus: 10.5% (~$5k)
Vacation: 2 weeks
*been with company for 4 years. Started as a product data analyst out of school.

New offer base salary: $90k
Bonus: 12% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

Counter offer: $80k
Bonus: 14% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

The new offer would require significantly more travel. I have a young family and value time at home. My heart is telling my to take the counter offer from my company.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
