I received two offers. WPP or Publicis?? The latter is a $5k less in salary but everything else is superior - 4 days vs 3 days (2-3 flexible) RTO, 15 days vs unlimited PTO, “chaos” vs “chill” (language from interviews)…

Is it bad to be over-utilized? I just did the math and I could charge zero hours this week and take a 3 week vacation after and still be 100% utilized? Is that abnormal?

If you have 4 days PTO, would you rather use it together in one week or take 1day off for 4 weeks ?

How much PTO does everyone get? Please include yoe for context

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

One of my coworkers thinks she deserves more PTO than it is allowed in our agency because she's "struggling". We all struggle with our own battles but she's being very rude about it. How can we handle this?

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work?

TIA!

Hey. An observation. Every post and comment on here for the past month has been negative as fuck. Yes, life is rough right now. But advertising as a paying job is hilarious and we should all take a beat to remember that.
