KPMG 4 weeks + summer holiday + winter holiday + 3pm EOD in Summer

Also our PTO and holidays get utilized in our adjusted which was unheard for me.


6 weeks at Deloitte don’t compare since no one used it bc of utilization targets.

Kpmg had 4 weeks of pto and about 17 total firm holidays throughout the year. 10 days of that being the summer and winter shutdown. I loved having 6 weeks off a year. It was dope

I've worked at a firm that had PTO and switched to unlimited. Not an issue for me since I knew how many PTO I used to get before, and I took just as many days after the switch. It's an issue if management slams work on you and forbids you from taking time off while "unlimited".

So what’s the process for using your unlimited PTO? I’m used to just putting it in and letting everyone know. How many hoops do EY employees have to go through? If someone takes a couple of international trips of 8-9 days a year, so probably 6-7 work days off, is that an issue? Vacation time is important to my well-being.

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise
