I'm shocked at Amazon's PTO offering..
10days to start with another 5 days of personal time...
A total of 3 weeks? Plus like 7 holidays Is this the norm with other larger tech companies?

Currently at EY and I get
- Unlimited PTO (I've stuck to 4ish weeks without any frowns since after the change to unlimited)
- 10 days sick
- 20 holidays (including summer and winter shutdowns)

Not really.. mostly just 40hrs a week. I'm in the federal sector and time off is mostly unplugged

I’ve been curious how unlimited PTO works. For example if you want to take three months off for personal matters, can you use PTO for the entire period?
At PwC your PTO will go negative but I’d rather just take a reduced pay leave in that case. Wondering if unlimited PTO is a loop hole there.

I work at EY too and basically the threshold is based on the burden placed on coworkers to cover while you’re out. A couple weeks is not bad and you can pause on some deliverables. A month is pushing it but your team may be able to handle it. 5 weeks or more and it’s basically considered taking a leave because teams would generally need a contractor to cover

This is why I didn’t move to them. Could tell with this as the structure and the potential for an even more toxic team it wasn’t worth it.

Got an offer from them with basically no increase in base pay and about 20% increase accounting for RSUs

They're not budging on base pay so think I'm going to reject the offer.
These benefits suck!

In addition, for some positions, every last Friday of the month off!

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
