If it's for a new job, then just ask for it as part of your counteroffer. If you're already working somewhere and you're looking to get more time off, you can certainly ask your manager, but I've never seen anyone successfully do this.

I’ve negotiated for additional PTO, every time I’ve switched jobs. I thank them for the offer and then explain that at my current position, I have X number of days, and that in order to make a move I’d like them to match that. I’ve never been turned down.

Great question. This typically depends on your employer, so you could reach out to HR and see if the PTO days are negotiable. If they aren't, you may need to start looking for an employer who offers more PTO. Many workplaces are beginning to offer more, even unlimited, PTO. So it definitely possible to find something :)

I have an urgent situation that I need advice for: what job to take? I currently have 2 job offers. Offer A (Scientist 3): 70k with full benefits including 15 PTO days and 5k tuition assistance yearly. It was sent to me last Wednesday and yesterday they left me a voicemail asking for a decision at my earliest convenience. Offer B (Manager): 76k with full benefits minus tuition assistance and only 5 PTO days first year (15 days after). Both companies said they'd groom me to take management roles.

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
