You think talking about it to a partner help?

Believe you only get paid out for current vacation year, but check the policy, not sure

Yeah.. But since the vacation policy change, all vacation hours are considered carry over since Jan

Got my official separation payout information upon separation. Its 0 vacation days.

Not to dog on you OP, but this is why I encourage all my teams and coachees to plan vacation and take it. Even if the policy today says one thing, and you can cash it out when you leave, policies change over night. Cautionary tale

I’ve put it in before the engagement even began and the manager was none to happy that I was going to be gone. My theory is since the firm can’t plan more than a month or two out, then it’s not really my problem.

I also hate the requirement to take PTO,if you have it, over holidays if you’re on the bench. My wife worked for years over the holidays and it was just me at home. I felt no need to waste it on me sitting on the couch.

Maybe I’m not a good consultant as I value work-life balance over a firm who can’t plan.

Hi folks,
I recently completed my technical interview with epam anywhere and I got selected in that. Now HR told me that I have one more project interview round which is also technical. In my epam profile it's showing that it's an offer interview. My HR told for functional testing it's a project interview instead of offer interview. I really confused about this and why should I take another Technical round even after clearing 1.5 hrs technical round. Can anyone share details of it?

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?

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 told him I don’t want to rush into anything serious. He acts very couple-like when we see each other. I am not sure how to interpret this.

I currently work in SaaS software implementation and really want to break into product management. I am finding it hard to get interviews.
