If you do project based work, is it better to take off 4 weeks and go somewhere (eurotrip for example) or take the 4 weeks spread throughout the year?

Don't let the work determine your PTO. I took 4 weeks at once last year to go to Europe. This year it's spread out because I'm not planning anything big. The work will always be there.

If you have rough hours for periods of time I think it's good to take big chunks but break it out... the year I've done two one week vacations and a three week vacation. The one week vacations have been relatively flexible so if I have to push it up or back a week it's not a big deal to align with changes in timing, while my three weeker had flights booked five months in advance. If I didn't have the breaks where I disconnect throughout the year, I would have burned out quickly.

Break it up...2.5 weeks mixed with yr end holidays, plus 1.5 weeks spread wisely

I took 4 weeks off last summer and loved it. Traveled throughout Europe and came back to work refreshed and ready to take on another year. I have a feeling I'll do that every summer from now on (take off 3-4 weeks).

My thought is i should take 4 weeks straight since I'm doing project work; I can do the spread out thing once I'm in a more stable role. Thoughts?

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

Is there a website or portal you can use to test TV files before submitting? I have a client who handles their own traffic, so anytime Extreme Reach rejects or even questions something that is not a problem, it gets kicked back and a bunch of clients get CC'd on an email saying: "this failed QA."

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.
