Getting Married next March in Mexico, I work for a company I am no longer happy to work for. Should I stay working for a company that I am not happy at because I need to use PTO? Or should I start applying and let future employers I need time off?

I would work towards finding that new job and letting them know you will need time off. It is a long time between now and next March!

A year is a long time to be unhappy in a role/company. I would start applying now OP

Never understood the fear of taking PTO at a new company. If it’s a big deal to take some time off in your first few months then it’s probably not a company you’d want to be at long term anyway.

That said, March 2023 is forever from now and even at a hardball company is plenty of time to plan ahead for. Might as well jump now as opposed to continuing to be unhappy for a full year of your life.

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.
