McKinsey & Company Hey folks, I am jumping ship from ACN tech to MCK digital pretty soon, offer already signed with a start date. My question to you lovely folks is – I had booked vacation for early June a while back, approx 6 weeks into my new job. Will it leave a bad starting impression on people I will work with (aka cancel the trip) or it's not a big deal to take vacation that early on in my new role? Would love if people shared their experiences in similar situation. McKinsey & Company

Should be totally fine. Just flag it to PD as soon as you start so it can be considered during staffing. You’ll probably be able to start with something short, go on PTO and then find something new when you get back.

Not a big deal to take a vacation. Make sure OD and your project managers know. If any project manager / leadership push back , don’t staff with them since they will probably be annoying in other areas as well. Been at McKinsey Digital for 2 years and never been asked to reschedule a vacation

Nbd dude, just tell em ASAP. Your first few weeks are training then your PD manager should be able to work with your team to ensure that time is protected.

If someone asks you to reschedule preplanned vacation, huge red flag. don’t work with them.

No - just let them know ahead of time and take your vacation. Not a big deal at all.

Just curious is this a data science type role or more strategic?

Take the PTO, tell PD and staffing as soon as you join and on-board.
