New remote role (5 yrs remote experience). I was open in interviews that I travel several times a year and may log morning hours while away. Two trips were booked before I accepted—one in March, one week in June. Manager approved but noted it’s 2 weeks in 4 months. Company has unlimited PTO. I later saw Slack messages questioning my time off. Is this normal new-hire optics or a red flag?

I could see it being a lot while still technically being new. But I’m not sure why it’s a surprise after you explicitly told them you already made plans. Being unlimited PTO, too, is a bit of a red flag. Hopefully, the questioning lets up after you’ve been there for a while.

Could be either. It is 2 weeks in 4 months. New hires typically only get 2 weeks. They may be wondering if you intend to take 2 more weeks every 4 months. Maybe have a conversation with HR or your manager.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
