Hi - looking for recommendations (cities and hotels) for a week long family vacation for 2nd week of October.

- 3 kids under 6
- International (preferably Europe)
- Lodging should be at a nice resort / hotel (4 stars and up) that caters to families with young children, preferably a suite or multi-room option
- Beach and warm weather would be a huge plus

TIA for any recommendations!

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction.

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
