Just received a verbal offer from PwC!!! So excited to start but I could also really use a break in between. Would it be too much to ask if I can start in mid May? All things considered like waiting for background to clear and then put in my two weeks notice + 2 weeks time off?

Accept the offer and email right away with the date you can start. Don’t say why, just say your first available date is xx/Yy, they will let you know if it’s an issue.

I just worry that I’ll be starting off on the wrong foot.. like if they need people to start right away or something. But I guess it doesn’t hurt to ask?

Got it! Thank you

May is actually a good time to start, as the performance review year runs from May 1 to April 30, so you’d have the full year under your belt before your first annual performance review.

Congrats! I didn't take time off between my jobs and I defo regret it lol

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Fiance does not want that lifestyle. Shes more of a 2-3 weeks of vacation is good.

Am I being dumb?

According to California Law, employers must pay unused vacation. Each year, we are given 33 days of holidays, no accrual. I was just laid off and my employer only paid half of my vacation because it’s mid year. Is this legal?

In hibob it says I had 32.5 days accrued.

Thanks for your help!

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction.
