How do YOU ask for PTO when on a project ?

You do not have to ask for PTO. You need to give your team leader appropriate notice (clarify when you join a project what the amount of notice should be) and then ensure that the people covering for you know what they need to know to get the job done.

Point is though that it’s your PTO to take.

On my project, we just put the time on the appropriate people’s calendars and coordinate any necessary coverage. I’ve never run into a scenario where it was an issue.

anything that is 2-3 days or less I just talk with my lead and coordinate backup and priorities, any longer PTO my lead runs by my senior manager with my backup plan to see if there are any concerns—but in general my team is super flexible and like D1 said it more of a notice with backup plan than an ask

I don’t ask. I just book it and let the team know.

I tell them I'm going on PTO.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness; f permission.

Ask, tell, go.

You just take it

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
