Just started a new job/project a month ago. Is it a bad look if I take PTO Thu-Fri? Or is it expected as it’s spring/summer vacation time

No, take your PTO

Always take the PTO.

Inform your project, there may be other people who have been on the project longer than are taking time off and you may not be able to overlap with them. Informing shows consideration and team player mentality, it’s not asking permission but rather “hey I am planning to take PTO on x days. There are
no milestones those dates and I will arrange for coverage while I’m out. Any issues with that?”

LOL same consideration is not shown for when weekends get blown up or PTO overridden. Frame however you want OP but take the PTO 100 percent. Leadership won’t care when they ruin something important you had planned.

Take the PTO.

So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well. It was my first project that I handled individually. I got another project it also went well. Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?
