Hey internal consultant in NYC here. Would like to transition but I get 35 days PTO a year and would like to keep a similar range of vacation days! Do you know where else I can keep similar PTO days?

Fellow expats, how do you handle the holiday season in Singapore? There's no way I can go all the way back to the States for Christmas, and I'm already feeling the pangs of homesickness creeping in.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Job A - no career path upwards, high functioning team, generous benefits and unlimited time off. TC 185

Job B - clear career path, new team, chaotic corporation, but lots of room for growth and budget to hire staff. Ok benefits. TC 220

Does anyone have feedback on working for Mercer Advisors? I see a few positions in the Rockwall/ Dallas area that intrigue me. I’ve read Glassdoor reviews- was looking for more in-depth info.
I have my SIE, Series 6 and Series 63.
What is the work culture like, PTO, management style? Thanks!

I opted not to go to our holiday party this year, but I have extreme anxiety about potential repercussions! Am I making the right choice? Context is in comments below. Would appreciate any insight!

How do you usually ask for PTO? I have the days accrued but I have PTSD from a past job about asking for time off. I’m wanting to take 5 days in June for a family trip and know I need to put in the request to the partners I work for sooner rather than later. I had to take a day this last week and they were great about it (immediate “Yeses”) but somehow, asking for a week feels like a hurdle. (Also, I’m only 7 months in, haven’t met the partners IRL, and we only really communicate via email)

Does AWS really only offer 2 weeks of PTO when you start?

Anyone find a reasonable flight around Thanksgiving? I’m looking for somewhere to go over the holiday for 5 nights or so.

Do you drink at holiday parties? This is the first company I've worked for that does a real holiday party and I'm kind of anxious about letting my guard down around my co-workers like that...

McK AMA. On PTO this week and next. What do you want to know?

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Planning a trip to Bali with my bf. He’s never been on a long flight like that but we are probably planning a 2week vacation. What areas should we stay at?? we’re beach bums but I also love the forest/Hiking and a big foodie!

I have 32k miles with THY that are about to expire. Normally I'd go ahead and book a flight, but I can't project which countries might be locked down again 5-6 months from now (haven't accrued enough PTO to travel in near future). The only other way to keep the miles is to pay $10 per 1000 miles, as far as I know. Are there other strategies?

Do we observe a holiday on 1st November?

How much PTO does everyone get? Please include yoe for context

Have you felt the below, how did you overcome (apart from leaving!) Exhausted or demotivated, took a vacation to come back fresh. But post joining did not find work interesting anymore. All seems to boring and losing interest

Remember, its okay to not be okay.
Take time off and do what you enjoy.

Will base jump from 120 - 145 make a significant difference in my saving? Offer has significantly less PTO and a lower 401k match. 32F with 400k saved, interested in buying a home soon in HCOL.

Unlimited PTO... love it or hate it? If your company has it, do you feel able to take it as needed, or is there push-back for "important meetings?"

Can I ask a cop to stay outside my door if I feel threatened at home?

Simple question. Why do Doctors earn so much in a country where access to health services is so difficult ? I don’t mind if they are becoming billionaires. I would just rather have more Doctors paid less. Access is a real issue. If the argument is around better opportunities in the US, this applies to many people, including us.
