How do you others value losing vacation days in a job offer? I have an offer where I’d be dropping from 30 to 20 days. Do others use your standard PTO payout and add that to your minimum acceptable salary?

Consulting offers more PTO but barely anyone avails it given consultants are struggling to hit minimum utilization targets. What use is 5 weeks PTO when you can’t use it? I never used my annual PTO and could only rollover a limited amount. So get whatever PTO you can realistically use 🙂

I have hopped between consulting and industry a couple of times, and the PTO negotiation never quite pans out as such. I also went from 30 days to 20, even though the new company only offered 15 days. All the best to you as you negotiate PTO or comp, but my experience has told me that the best you can get in industry is 4 weeks. Keep in mind that consulting gives you a PTO premium knowing that you are traveling 80-100%, and typically billing 45 hrs/wk but working closer to 50-55 (at least in Deloitte).

Would your employer not reimburse you for unused PTO as you leave?

Got it!

Figure out your daily rate atnew salary offer and x 10 days.

That’s what I figured. Wanted to validate.

I went from 5 weeks to 3 and regret not negotiating. I let it go because they have a formal shutdown week over the holidays that isn’t PTO and 10 sick days a year but I feel guilty taking a sick day when I’m not sick so it isn’t real time off and we had a week of shutdown at D too. Just disheartening to watch such a slow accrual rate!

In this job I don’t equate vacation days and salaries rate 1:1.
