Hey Folks. I hope I am posting in the right space about this. Anyone knows the updated(2022) compensation range for QA Automation Engineers with 2 years experience?
A general range at Glassdoor has an average base pay at 110K/year shorturl.at/dhuIZ and I am looking for more sources. Cheers
What’s common PTO wise in big law?

Got messaged by a C3 . ai recruiter. Read that wlb is bad and that the interview process is absurdly long, but the Glassdoor reviews are 4.2 and can't find actual hours worked posted by anyone. How's the culture really? I'd be aiming for DS consulting, something more functional but with DS/ML concepts as my differentiator.

USE IT Jesus I hate this country sometimes. We shouldn't be made to feel like "lazy bums" for taking 2 weeks off from our desk job.
Too bad. Fuck em. Life is too short. Go enjoy those days you've already earned
Do NOT allow vacation shaming to make you leave days on the table. Take the days; your work, sanity and life need and will benefit from it. No one looks back and wishes they worked more.
USE EM ALL. And just know: nobody is actually paying attention or cares. Think about it...do you ever notice when your coworkers take vacation? Nope!
Taking a vacation is necessary to your physical and mental health, and to your performance at work. It's not an option. TAKE VACATION.
HOWS IS THIS STILL A QUESTION JESUS F CHRIST 🤦🏻♂️
Oh I’m with you. 100%. But I constantly feel as though I’m inconveniencing others- even though I give plenty (months) of notice.
Use it. Use it all. Every single minute. It’s part of your compensation.
Ugh this subject kills me. On my team all the 30-somethings (including me) take vacation days with no apologies and have no qualms about saying they can't work weekends if we/they indeed can't work that weekend. But I see the 20-something team members routinely canceling vacations, etc for the sake of the job. One person didn't go to a family baby shower last month (a 3-hr event on a Sunday) for the job and it fucking killed me. It pained me to see her miss a family event like that for this dumb job that doesn't give a shit about her. People, take your vacation. Live your lives.
Use it all. Do kick ass work the rest of the time.
👆 Great point.
Sop it up like a biscuit in gravy. Unless you're hoarding it for the paycheck when you quit (double check that your agency does that though). Take. All. The. Days.
Unless you get a payout for not using it, why leave money on the table?
I use every single one of those days.
I bank them until I’m maxed out, then use everyday I’ve got after that so that my vacation days carry over, and if I ever leave I’ve got a nice little goodbye gift.
It drives me crazy when people who don't take their vacation then brag about how much vacation time they have because they are 'so busy' and 'so important' to a particular client or account. It's self-inflating and makes them sound like an ass. Take your vacation. Every single second of it.
For heavens sake - USE THEM ALL.
2 f'n weeks! Compared to other industries, this amount of vacation is peanuts.
Take em. If it removes any guilt: People who don't take vacations tend to be a hazard and actually unproductive. Your boss will thank you for that. Last thing s/he wants is a demotivated burned out employee who brings down morale on the team.
Take them but don't make a big deal about it ... I hate when direct reports do shit like take off every Friday in Q4 to use up every last day. Just take a real vacation and plan for coverage, then come back and do your job.
