I’m starting grad school in the fall and want to take a 6ish week break of freedom using the PTO I have versus quitting and losing my benefits for that time and getting paid out for my PTO. I would quit right before school starts/when I run out of PTO. Has anyone done this? Would this make me at risk of getting laid off while on a PTO without a project? Would that even matter? I’m going to grad school for a career change if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Where do you live? In CA, you get your PTO paid out if you haven’t used it. It was a nice extra cash when I left my old job. Check your labor laws.

Hm I think at deloitte you just have to come back for one day. But that’s a good point I will have to double check that

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now). Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).
