How much PTO have you taken this year? I just realized I’ve only taken two days, I feel like I need to make a shift to be better about disconnecting.

Oh wow, I hope you don't lose your PTO at the end of the year. I've already taken over two weeks and have another week planned in December.

Thankfully I don’t, but no point in having that much just sitting there! Good for you!

Get working on taking that time off! I took a week in the spring and I've got another week coming up next month and then more in December. I hate leaving any of it on the table.

Good for you! I definitely am going to plan something before end of year.

My company has “unlimited” PTO (which I know isn’t ACTUALLY unlimited lol) and I’ve taken 2 weeks so far and have a few days scheduled soon, then will probably take a couple days each month going forward. So about 3 weeks total for this year. I’ll try to keep it under 3 weeks. I think that’s acceptable?

One week in April, two in August, and will take another week or week-and-a-half in December. Plus a day here and there at other times.

I took a week in January, two weeks in July, and have three more weeks planned - one for the week of Thanksgiving and almost two for the time between Christmas and new year. I accrue 7 weeks between holiday and PTO every year so have to work to use it each year.

Hi

I resigned Epam Anywhere last week because I am on bench since 2.5 month , package in EPAM Anywhere was 32.40 lpa fixed .

Started looking outside and got opportunities.

Two offers:

Citi bank- 3277000 fixed

Mastercard- 308000(including 2.80lakhs variable)

I am really confused between these two companies, I heard WLB is very good in Mastercard, but again their salary difference is too much.

Kindly suggest its Urgent.
