I'm a Manager at EY. What's the GH equivalent to that? Managing consultant? And how would the leave be at that level?

22 Days PTO and one optional holiday. So 23.

Kpmg has now 2 additional weeks off (4th or july and xmas). I believe EY and Deloitte are also doing that now

Ex-KPMG, KPMG used to be at 25 days of PTO last year but reduced to 20 to negate the mandatory days that were forced to be used anyways in winter and now summer.

OP: how do you feel about the unlimited time off policy?

like

Honestly not as concerned about the missed payout when leaving the firm. I tend to always use my accrued PTO.

In terms of if I can still use the 5 weeks without any raised eyebrows, I suppose no one knows yet. I'm sticking by to see it while I wait for a better exit opportunity

Is there something against doing back to back offers at PwC or any of the other big four?

I was told that even if the dates don't overlap when they are announced sometime next year, I may still not be able to do both because of reasons related to the firm?
If this is the case then I may have look for another internship that I can do before the fellowship.

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
