I actually reccomend not using PTO and getting paid out at the end. Give yourself an ACTUAL vacation with a month of unemployment.

Get paid out whatever your able to. If they don’t pay out sick leave then take your sick leave for “mental health” reasons right before you give notice.

^ ps. that is what I did. :)

Nope, not really. Most all corporate jobs have excellent perks same or better than Big 4

I wish I would've stayed a few weeks longer to meet an additional 20% vesting, or asked my new company to cover the forfeiture.

Feeling a bit lost lately. I’ve had some major life accomplishments recently and I feel they go unnoticed. I’m super stressed with work. Everyone has been super negative lately. I’ve tried talking to a few close people only to have them railroad me with their problems (not in the trying to relate way). Every time I try to take a vacation from work it gets pushed aside. Im just tired and need a break and people to realize it.

It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.
