Negotiating with EY for M/SM Tech Consulting. I have 15 years experience, skills are in demand and my interviews went extremely well. 1. What are the salary ranges for M and SM in NYC. 2. I am told it is only going to be a M now, for my own benefit-no EY network means failure at selling. Whats the highest salary I can negotiate at M. Any other tips will be handy. I have "sold" (support on sales & new roles through relationships) plus I have solid delivery experience. I really want SM 😀😀😀 EY

Check the calendar. If it’s open, take it off. You’re just not supposed to do it the day of as that would be considered a call off which gets tracked. But even then I’ve had managers that didn’t care if we marked it as excused.
Same way at Progressive
I’m a manager. As long as there aren't too many people off at the same time, my group can take it whenever they want. We keep a shared calendar. I don’t want to micromanage people’s time off. If everyone wants the same time off during the holidays, I ask my team to work it out. We’re all adults.
This. Holidays are harder to manage, but other than that, check the shared calendar. Don't leave me and your coworkers hanging.
If I want 5 days PTO then need to give 5 days notice. They would prefer more if possible but they have never denied any of my requests. I can actually get time off unlike my last employer where our requests were done in January for the upcoming year and written in stone. Was a nightmare to get time off.
If you are in Underwriting big holidays that are around the 1st or end of the month of major effective dates like Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Christmas/New Years should be coordinated amongst a team several months out in advanced. For example, I make myself available every year around Christmas or New Years since my brokers are solid and usually have their deals done way early and it’s pretty low key for me anyway but then I always take a major vacations in September around Labor Day and have a one off vacation that comes close to MLK or Memorial Day.
I've been told if slots are available at least 24 hours. But it's rough on your team if you don't give at least a week of you are taking more than a day.
When I was an adjuster we could do it day of.
Like I said, when I was a CH I could take it day of.
I did Monday to take today off.
I’ve never had an issue taking a day off. I like to give advance notice but there’s been times I haven’t and it’s perfectly fine no issue.
1 day
At SF, you have to request 13 months in advance.
13 months??? That is crazy!
I’ve never had an issue. I just needed to secure a backup. I could leave that day if it was an emergency.
As long as we do it the day before we are ok.
Depends on your manager and company policies. I work i sprints so it's courtesy and a good idea to know what your upcoming PTO is for at least a sprint if not the entire iteration so work can be planned.
That seems too much advance notice.
