Just bill it to the client. You were talking about their work anyway.
Just take PTO, no one will care and if they ask, just say that you went for a long weekend (make something up). Good luck on the interviews.
What kinds of interviews are you doing if you are taking off 3 days at a time?
Lots of dentist appointments
PTO
As long as you keep up your work quality, you have no need to worry. Jus make sure to have coverage when you're out. I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon, but I take a day or two off that's not a Monday or Friday for various errands and appointments. Then again, my project is remote and people take random days or parts of days off for school events or whatever. I usually just say that I have an appointment if asked or even nothing at all if not asked. People don't usually pry, but I guess that's different depending on the team.
Just say you have some personal stuff going on and need to take few days off, no big deal
I don’t think you’re that critical to the company...
If it’s a part day, I say appointment. It can be a haircut or a colonoscopy—and they can’t ask.
"I'm at the use-it-or-lose it cap."
Everyone understands that.
Use strategery, though: every day of PTO you use to interview for a new job is one less day of PTO you have banked up for when you cash out, or have available when you are wanting to take time off before going to your next adventure.
I am interviewing with several companies @BA1
I haven’t been asked about any pto I take. It’s summer. The firm wants you to take time off.
@TM1 😂
Yeah, you might be over-thinking this. People probably will not ask you to justify reasons for PTO.
My team has gotten into a habit of providing why we are taking PTO is my reason for asking. Dnt see the need to lie but also dnt feel the need to disclose
Exactly @BA6!!
