Just rolled off a project and about to take a week of PTO. The twist is I have an offer that I plan to accept beginning in June. How should I play this so that I’m not doing more than I absolutely need to but am also not burning the bridge?

Why are you taking PTO? Stay on the bench and enjoy your time off. Get your PTO paid out at the higher base in June.

I guess the main issue is staying under the radar and on the bench for 2 months

There is no bridge to burn if you’re not on a project.

More the group that I’m in

Congrats OP! Grab that bonus haha
