I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

Only saw that working for government contracts. It won’t matter as much if they do “flex time” or if you’re a boss. Otherwise you might regret it once we all go back to the office.

I’m never going back to an office thankfully. And the pay is way better. But it’s just so strange to me.

I had a job at a bank that was like that. 19 days is NOT generous.

If the job offer is strong aside from the PTO days, you can try asking for more. They might be able to match your previous job or other offers. I've been able to do this for all jobs I've had.

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand
