Has anyone been able to take advance leave of more than 1 week. New hire here and need to plan an international trip for 4 weeks but don’t have sufficient PTO. I understand LOA can been taken but that’s unpaid option.

4 weeks is a big ask and pretty much an entire year's worth of PTO. You also need approval from your talent lead for leave longer than 2 weeks. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think you're going to be able to go that far in the red on PTO or get it approved.

My manager told me you can take up to two weeks in advance. That’s obviously something you’d have to get them to approve before just putting it in the books and saying I’m out the next two weeks.

Historically, unless it’s a medical issue, they will try to keep you from going any more than 40 hours (one week) in the negative. If you ask for more than that, just be prepared for a portion of it to be unpaid. If you’re ok with that, and you can collect all the approvals needed (project and OP lead) enjoy the time off!

Well, it just so happens that I was offered a job at a new firm, and they are flexible with start date but do not provide maternity leave (understandable since I don't even work there yet). Is it possible to accept the new job with a January start date, but not tell my current firm until a normal notice period ends, so I can keep mat leave? No payback requirements or anything. Would they know somehow?

So annoyed,

So my work has unlimited PTO -global company. I'm based in uk and line manager is in USA. he said I'm taking to much time off and has brought it up with upper management.

Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?
