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!

Any advice on how to pick the best company for me when offered a position from more than 1 company?

I compared benefits, pros/cons, compared them on Glassdoor, questioned them about growth opportunities, asked about their culture.....anything I am missing? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

Here is the TLDR LEK doesn’t suck post.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)
