Have you ever been denied or being encouraged to Not take time off? I was trying to put a week time off and my MD told me if I want to “get ahead” here, better to hold off on taking that much time off.

Take the time off anyway. I wouldn’t want to work for anyone that threatened my career if I used my PTO, which is apart of compensation/benefits .

Exactly. Fuck em

That is fine and well, but I need to take my PTO and it needs to be turned into other compensation then if I can’t use it without pushback on my career. Had similar experiences when I started out and looking back now I wish I would have handled it differently. It’s like a carrot on a stick.

Know the feeling. The only PTO available that can't be challenged is the annual 5-day mandatory absence period. That's been my experience anyway

Yea I have and I took my time off anyway because I do not care. One thing about it is these companies really do not care about you. You earn your PTO and therefore it is yours to take off. I would do it anyway and worry about the rest later. We aren't getting any younger OP

That’s NOT the real world. That’s IB. Mfs get to take time off typically at will in most industries.

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
