In my experience you can take any vacation you want as long as you’re logged in and available the whole time.

I just joined a REPE firm a few months ago that values good work life balance and requested 1.5 weeks off and no one batted an eye, I guess it just depends on culture of the team

Is the issue here taking 2 weeks all in one go? Or is it just that 2 weeks holiday is too much? I’m curious what annual holiday allowance is normal in PE, and what proportion of that it’s actually acceptable to take?

If you're not on a live deal, 2 weeks is pushing it but totally acceptable. If you're on a live deal, almost no vacation will be acceptable. Sort of how the industry rolls
