My BFF is doing Belize for her birthday. It’s during the week and I don’t have much PTO saved and I got other trips planned for the year. Should I go on the trip and work (potentially waste $)

Yeah. Work parts of the days and go out at night. If your project is fairly routine, front load and save the work then just be submitting it casually during the week of. I’ve done it before and it wasn’t a big deal for my team.

Thanks for that idea!!

I was told that some clients do not allow vpn access outside the country. You may want to check on that first.

Also, Im curious to know if this is a real thing from others who have insight

You can go into negative PTO. Cost might be the main factor, but PTO should not be a factor at most firms.

General rule of thumb, don’t access US client data from outside the US. Definitely saw someone get fired from ACN for doing that. Granted, they tried accessing the client data warehouse from China, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to access client systems while traveling internationally. Much like with most any other issue, ask your manager

Or don’t go! I feel bad she came on my trip! I was thinking of doing a weekend in Belize but tickets are higher for that

If you alternate travel over the weekend (or whatever Acc calls it), it should help offset the price of your flights by how much you would spend on your client trip usually

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
