Switching to Accenture but have 3 weeks of PTO planned a for couple months after I make the switch. I won’t have accumulated enough PTO by that time; will they let me go negative or take unpaid leave or something?

Guidehouse now has unlimited PTO, which is fantastic for these reasons. 💚

I’m unsure. I scheduled 10 days with a quick heads up to my supervisor. I’ve typically taken 1-2 weeks and just alerted my team and designated a backup; perhaps for longer time away there is a formal process. We’re so busy that my utilization is never an issue.

You can go negative

Thank you!

They will let you go negative if you expect to accumulate that much pto in your first year. Is this right after you start or in a few weeks after your start date? 3 weeks is a long time and will impact any project you get staffed on....

You can also take unpaid time off

Just tell them in advance. I did exactly the same thing when I joined, and was negative for like 6 months. But I told them before I started, as opposed to after.

Make sure you let Hr know in advance, 3 weeks is a long time at any company. 1 week no problem, 2 weeks advance planning coordination required, 3 weeks wouldn’t be doable mid project so requires extra staffing attention.

Your current leadership allowed 3 weeks worth? That’s pretty awesome itself if true

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
