My office - busy season is a big no except for extenuating circumstances. Otherwise, as long as you hit your charge goals during the year, non-busy time, the team is super flexible as long as you give some a heads up before you submit your request for scheduling purposes.

Do they offer performance bonuses nowadays? I interned at BKD who eventually became Forvis mazars but they didn't have performance bonuses for any level.

Yes, paid out in May.

Ask them, time off is important. Just don’t word it like that

If you are wanting to take off 3 weeks in a row, then I would say “no”. If you plan your time off in advance it’s just a rubber stamp approval and not consistent amongst offices. There have been some people who’ve taken a lot of time off and aren’t hitting charge goals. That’s why the approvals have snuck in.

Was all service lines

It’s been flexible from my experience but local office culture rules right now so it depends on your office. Their focus is on utilization, like every other firm, so if you’re hitting that, they’re not asking questions. If it’s during busy season, plans need to be made well in advance like any other firm.

Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
