Taking a week long PTO next month. How acceptable is completely unplugging? They all say "completely sign off". But folks generally don't. Help!

One week is fine as long as you explicitly agree it with your team

^agreed. Have to make sure there are people there to completely cover for you. That said, it can’t hurt to check your email in case there’s an emergency

Tell them you’re going international and will be out of pocket

^doesnt work that way. They’ll pay for your international travel pass plan to let you stay current on emails. I’ve never seen anyone unplug in investments banking, not even senior bankers

IBA1, senior bankers never really should unplug, they’re the first line of contact with clients so they never have vacation; client calls they work regardless. At the junior level, especially analysts, I think its very common to unplug because there are pitch ins, at least at BAML that’s how it works. I’ve taken 3-4 vacations where I completely unplugged, because other analysts filled in for me while I was gone.

It's acceptable if everyone is aware.

My spouse has spent 4 yrs in major market biglaw. She has always been interested in public policy/government work and went to law school to do that work. After 2016 election, left DC and did corporate. Now she wants to go back and has had several interviews over the past 5 months with a major DC law firm/lobbying firm. Final round interview in Dec went really well. No response for a month, no response to follow up emails. Is this just holiday delay or should she consider this opp dead?

Has anyone else in PDM received one of these “you’re selected to be an Onboarding Advisor” emails? 2 of my coworkers got one and they seem to be expected to advise new hires on how to do resumes, skills, staffit, DTE, introduce them to their network, send welcome emails, checkin with them multiple times and answer their onboarding questions. Seems like a lot of extra firm work when PDM is not supposed to be required to do firm work…. Wondering if anyone knows about this new requirement.
