IQVIA fishes. Was told by my manager to not take over 20 days PTO this year despite having unlimited. Anyone else experience this? NYC office for reference.

Unlimited is never unlimited. Just a sales pitch to be hires and a way for the company not having to pay out pto when employees level..

Yep, spot on. 20 days of PTO is 4 weeks. That’s a lot, especially if you’re somewhat new or junior.

You have a utilization target. As SC or below I think it's 85% or so, so you'll need 1,650 hours of credited time - either billable or chargeable internal. 20 days is pretty much the limit of what you can do.

That said, I hardly ever take actual PTO time. If I put in 45 hours from Monday to Thursday and have a long weekend planned, I'm just not entering time on Friday. Have been straight with everyone, and nobody has a problem with it.

52 a week?! What group are you in? That is wild. I've been right around 40 all year

Yeah it should be understood that you will not hit anything crazy. It's a paper benifit. Not real.

Does anyone know if things like jury duty or bereavement leave count against your utilization? I've heard it doesn't count the same way holidays and PTO do, but not sure how that is possible.

I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
