Possibly, but I think it will be easier to use them than in PA. Many pa firms seemed to have a culture where people were fine with losing their pto at the end of the year lol.

Yeah it’s weird I never understood people who lost their PTO or didn’t take as much ?

I thought its the other way around lol.

Wow I was 150% utilized this year and had to take a sabbatical to study my CPA. I only requested 1 month of PTO this summer. I’m with Kpmg

I have one additional holiday in industry, but less PTO, which was surprising to me. I was expecting to have more days off in industry.

Hello Fishes,
What are your leave plans?
(Year end is nearing, most of the accounts must have or will move to Code Freeze period and some of the leaves will expire by year end).

1. No leave plans at all.
2. Utilise some part of leave.
3. Utilise all leaves for Vacation.
4. Utilise all leaves for Upskill/Reskill.

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

Already burned most of my PTO interviewing.
