How strict is EY about separation policies? i.e. Having to be in the office on your last day, not taking vacation days within your two weeks notice period, etc. Thanks!

What's the longest vacation you've taken and where did you go? Thinking about capitalizing on my unlimited PTO and want some ideas.

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!!

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out?

I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.
