How many days of PTO does each of big 4 has? For some reason I thought all big 4 has unlimited PTO policy just to shake off the huge liabilities on their books, but apparently I was wrong based on my potential offer with one of them.

22 days, plus 3 or 4 flex days. Sick time is separate and unlimited.

20 days plus most federal holidays and 2 firm wide shutdowns ≈ 37 days. If can’t take a holiday because of client work you can take it as a floating holiday

like

Max out at 176hrs at PwC. You earn PTO hrs based on years and level

So with the holiday shutdown, not all of the days off are “free”. You need to use vacation days or flex days for those. That’s essentially the purpose of flex days. Depending on the weekday of the 4th of July , the firm also shuts down that whole week, and a couple of those days need to be used with flex days or PTO.

Flex days are added to your holiday balance, so they don’t carry over to the next year, use or lose.

I have 30 days not including holidays or firm disconnect.

Days will depend on role and level.

EY has unlimited PTO

It seems like only EY has unlimited PTO policy. Thanks everyone!

Seems Deloitte has the lowest PTO and no sick days either.

I’ve been asked to weigh in on how to improve my firms parental leave policy. It’s currently 8 weeks paid for birth parent with an extra week for each year at the firm (up to 12 weeks total) and 2 weeks paid for non-birth parent. I’m in a major city, firm is a boutique that has been around a very long time. What would you suggest? Any studies or research you’ve seen recently on trends in parental leave policies also helpful. I’d like to have some sort of data to back up what I recommend. TIA!

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?

First - thank you so much to this amazing group for all the encouragement and advice! I now potentially have 2 offers (both verbal) at this time. Both amazing companies. I have 2 questions:
1. I have a month's vacation planned for end of this year. I didn't mention it during the interview process (it was not intentional). Should I mention this to the recruiter when they come to me with the initial offer?
2. Some tips for salary negotiations please?

Is it me or does the newer generation value more intangible things that aren’t easily measured like work-life balance, fulfillment and purpose in work. Which makes it difficult for firms because that’s not something that is easily measured. Also, this is why there is “value” in crypto, NFTs and the metaverse. It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?
