I'm confused. You were offered 15 days and you want 3 weeks. What's the problem here?

I got over 4 weeks 1st year as a mgr

Wow.. post-MBA? Or did you move up in the firm and then renegotiated?

Wow, all I was offered was 15 days. I accepted the offer based off of the salary I successfully negotiated but not before reading the other details of the offer.... now I feel like an idiot. #YoungAndDumb

PwC is 15 for new associates; it becomes 22 after two years

Oh okay, gotcha

22 day one for mgrs

I'm speaking on a new offer at a competing firm

OP still confused. You might need to provide more details. What is the competing firm, what level, what did they offer at the new firm.

Long story, but It's an entry level position. I was laid off at Accenture and was offered another position at a competing firm. Got the salary I wanted and accepted before I realized I was low balled on the PTO. They offered 15 days. Apparently I was getting 25 days at ACN.

Typo, 5 weeks

My mistake, I was doing too many things at once.

I'm at 6 (weeks). Didn't realize everyone else was so low.

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).

Looking at Strategy/Organizational Change Management roles, and curious to know if you feel that compensation and benefits were worth it when measured against your actual experience once you started working with CGI.
