Just had a look at some start-ups that are hiring and a lot of them offer unlimited vacation days... think this is a good practice?

That sounds a lot like an "undefined" number of vacation days. Start ups are small enough to make sure that policy isn't abused.

My roommate works for a start up with unlimited vacations. She took less days than I did last year - almost every time she asked to take a block off they told her she couldn't because her current project was mission critical.

We have unlimited sick days but vacation is capped with good rollover and we have super flexible work schedules. Agreed with those here saying unlimited vacation tends to mean less is taken because it's up to managers and coverage (versus being your specific benefit).

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.
