Is it frowned upon to have a week vacation planned less than two months after starting a new role?

If you already have it planned who gives af. Frowning at that is what’s wrong with corporate America.

If you had it planned before the role, be upfront about it. If you are planning on a weeklong trip on really short notice, let your supervisors know. You don’t have to ask for permission, but just have common courtesy.

Do you mean a new role as in within the same company but different project/position or new role as in new company? For former, just mention it to new manager before you start to make sure it’s okay. For latter, some companies do have a waiting period on accrual/use of vacation... should also be fine unless they are jerks, but you may need to get more formal approval to go negative on vacation balance or something.

You do understand PTO is part of your compensation? It's yours. And the companies that try to dictate it without justification are literally robbing you of what is yours.

Probably depends on your team lead, but it shouldn’t...I did it

Yes.

Were you up front about it during hiring process? Did you apply for the job or did a recruiter reach out?

As long as it’s conveyed early on to the project leadership, it’s okay IMO.

And there’s a difference between having a vacation planned several months in advance vs. joining a team and THEN planning a week long vacation. The latter scenario isn’t great judgement .

Does anyone have any update on this?
Tried mailing to the HR and to their help desk. No response.
Its really disappointing. Even if they are not able to onboard candidates now, the least they can do is aknowledge and respond to the queries.
Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.
