20 to 25 days is good for the level. Some places are going unlimited.

Unlimited is the way of the future. You’ll never take it and the company has 0 liability on the books! Lose - Win!

No its not, all things being equal I would rather join a firm with fixed PTO

All I know is that "unlimited" PTO is a scam.

I have taken more PTO at EY than I ever did at D bc I don’t have this constant “I shouldn’t use PTO so I can bank it for when I leave” thought, I just go take PTO

like

0, including weekends and holidays

likefunnysmart

We’re unlimited PTO.

funnylike

I probably should switch.

Deloitte has 25 days I think

like

You accrue more pto depending on your positions (i.e. managers get more than analysts) and also people that started more than 5 years ago just have more; they changed the system recently so newer people get less. So it's varied across the board, it's just the firm holidays that are the same

If you’re at BCG you get shafted. 15 days below manager, 20 for manager on up

Geeze thats a joke

I've carried over more than 15 days, are you in consulting? And I hear a lot about people who feel like they can't take all their PTO, which really sucks. Luckily I've always been able to, except in 2020 bit that was more because I had nowhere to go vs not being able to use it.

We get 20 plus two built in weeks (so really 6 weeks total) for entry level Associate!

This is so AWKWARD. We had our holiday party last night and everyone was drinking (open bar) a group of us went outside to grab cabs together and go home, everything was cool. Tell me why once I got in the cab I got a drunk call from my manager asking if he could get a cab to my place and if I would give him the address 🤦🏻‍♀️. I'm single and not mad that he finds me attractive, more worried that all my other coworkers heard him calling me while they waited with him!!

I currently work as a Director of Operations for a government agency, which is coming to a close.

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?
