Looking ahead and planning for 2024. How much time is appropriate to take off for vacation at your agencies? We have an unlimited PTO model, first time for me. Trying to gauge what is expected.

At minimum, aim for what you would have wanted if there was no unlimited PTO. I try to get at least 20 days minimum. The trick is to plan and book them ahead of time as much as you can.

At my agency we have an unlimited PTO policy as well with a minimum of 10 days that we need to take each year. I usually take around 20-30. No one has told me that that was too much.

We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips?

I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.
