I often feel the pressure to work through the holidays. Do you feel comfortable enough to take some time off during the week of Thanksgiving or Christmas?

FOH. Zero pressure on my end. I’d feel pressure having to work and miss out on moments w my loved ones and friends during holidays, vacations etc.

Wouldn't necessarily call it pressure, I have no problem working during both holidays. My coworkers are all out, no meetings, and can't get too much done. Even better since I started WFH. I usually grab around 7-10 PTO days after New Year's when everyone comes back grumpy.

At which bank do you work or is your title outdated? Haven't heard of any banks continuing WFH or analysts getting 7-10 PTO right after New Year's

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
