December is totally ok. Nobody monitors your start date + when you take off for staff. They're kinda all lumped together
No just communicate it to your team well in advance
Completely fine. These A.T. Kearney guys are full of shit or don't have a life outside work.
I think it's fine to take time off but I do think you should wait until you're staffed to book plane tickets. I had two new hire analysts inform me that they were taking two weeks off around xmas and New Years a few years ago...when I asked who would be able to cover they told me "well...you I guess." As the manager and the only person who had PTO I was going to lose, I was pretty pissed off. Moral of the story: clear with your project team before booking travel bc it could create coverage issues.
Wow it is clear which firms have the best WLB. RIP ATK
It's the holidays, everyone is off
Nope
Totally fine and normal. Just let staffing know
You won't make it far in this profession if you are already thinking about taking off before starting. Put on your big girl panties and suck it up.
You haven't started yet!!!! Honestly
Thanks @EY folks. What is the December holiday schedule like firmwide?
EY SM here: Just brought on a Senior and she had two week long trips already planned, so guess what we worked around it. Additionally, like people have said, it's expected that people take time in December. Just communicate open and honestly.
