PTO question: Hired as an experienced associate (SA3) at PwC with 15 days of PTO. Isn’t this number extremely low? Does this go up to 22 once you hit 2 years of service with the firm? I have a bunch of weddings to attend next year, some of which are overseas so I’m trying to plan ahead. Heard Deloitte offers 25 days of PTO - is this true?

It really doesn’t matter (for most people). My vacation balance is always capped (at 176 hours) and can’t get to use the for years…

This is probably something senior leadership should revisit if they want the firm to stay competitive. 15 days is untenable especially with all the headlines around employee burnout.

Unlimited sick days though bro

Is this pro-rata’d for joining part way through a leave year?

Worked at Deloitte prior to BCG and can confirm Deloitte offered 25. I was also surprised to see that BCG offers just 15 at the A/C level at least but guess Deloitte just has a better PTO polocy

Yes, it jumps to 22 when you become a manager. Good thing is that you can go negative and nobody really cares

I believe it jumps to 22 days after 2 years of service also.

Deloitte starts at 23 for SC and below now (used to be more before we got the full week of between Xmas and NY). For Manager and above it's 28 (used to be 30 so many of us are grandfathered in). 30 is nice but hard to use. We also get a ton of holidays and extended breaks (3 days for Thanksgiving this year for example).

15 days is the standard. We also have unlimited sick days. So might want to leverage those at times where you might take a day or two of vacation.

If I decided to take a full week off, could I use sick days for a couple of those days? Is this fairly common?

PwC has always had the worst PTO policy. They only give 1 day off for July 4 too.

for this calendar year, they are shutting down and giving 4 days and then 1 day is taken as vacation so entire week SHUT DOWN

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

Has anyone heard or experienced going on maternity leave, then leaving shortly after returning? I'm hearing from my husband's company if he takes pat leave, and leaves shortly after returning, he'd have to repay the wages paid while out on leave. Is this only for pat leave and the person who gives birth wouldn't have to pay back as it's technically disability pay? Trying to weigh my options as I want to get out of my company, but want the mat leave first.
