Was reading that Booz has a PTO buyback program where you can sell your unused PTO at EOY. Sounds awesome. Can any BAH fish say more about this?

PTO buy-back program is dope. I’m commercial and bought 30 hours of extra PTO. You can pay it across the year and counts towards billable hours.

Also in commercial and never done it because I tend to use every hour of my PTO (since there’s no downside to doing so). But considering COVID is putting quite the damper on my personal travel these days, maybe I’ll opt in. (Or just stack it and take a month off in 2021)

Yep, you can sell and get paid your hourly rate back or something like that. Heavily taxed, but what isn’t?

like

Yup. Take your salary, divide it by 2080 and then multiply by the number of hours your selling back and that’s your cut before Uncle Sam takes his chunk.

What SC1 said.

Kind of meh, Booz doesn’t give nearly as much PTO as the big4, and you have to plan nearly a year in advance to sell it right? (Don’t work at Booz, just word of mouth so would love insight here)

You do have to do some planning, yes.

However, unlike D our PTO actually counts towards utilization rather than against us 🤪

Not to thread hijack, but does booze have firm initiative requirements at year end? Proposals, white papers, professional groups, that kindof thing?

Absolutely wild. That is easily one of my least favorite parts of walking at Deloitte.

Thanks for the insight!

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)
