To those that have holidays preset by countries, would you prefer that you get floating days off that you can have on other days or stick with the holidays themselves? We get Friday off for the 4th of July in the US but it would be a lot better for me to have the Monday off instead. Any opinions on this?

We got a floating holiday. Friday was still considered a workday.

Floating days.

Having a combination of fixed national holidays, combined with vacation days seems good.
Those ~10 days when everyone is off is good, you don’t have to worry about work at all because nothing is happening.
But then getting 15-20+ vacation days to use whenever is also good.

I prefer the company set ones. That means the whole company is out ...I don't come back to an overflowing inbox. It is just the way I left it. If it's floating.... Then people are still send things and you have to catch up on what you missed.

When I take my regular PTO, it is always overwhelming to come back and catch up

Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
