They gave some additional holidays around memorial day and July 4th, I believe, and then we are closing our offices the full week of December 27th.

No - but added a few extra days (dont think this will be sustainable after we return to the office though)

Curious - I've had "flex vacation" (ie no set number of days) for a while now. It hasn't changed the number of days I can, or do, take off. At Bain (or BCG for that matter) do you find you actually take all of your available days?

I’ve never had a problem taking days off.

Added ~8 extra vacation days this year, but no change to PTO itself.

I accepted a new offer and put in my notice this week and my company provided a counteroffer. The offer is lower than my new offer but I know it’s the best they can do. Financially I do need the money but I’m also tempted to stay because my current team is so great. I have 2 questions 1) when does it make sense to prioritize workplace happiness/ balance over financial well-being? 2) if I go back on my offer acceptance should I consider that bridge burned?

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?
