What are other firms policy on vacation? Or time off? EY depends on level. Which I'm sure others as well
Seniors get 18 days (vacation and personal days.) And 10 sick days I think or maybe 6 lol

You end up taking less PTO when it’s “unlimited”. Plus no payout upon separation

likesmart

And OP. PTO doesn’t count completely against utilization. It’ll be factored into full utilization but you can see your “effective” utilization which is your time charged without vacation, personal, or any other leave so a more realistic look at what your utilization

Unlimited is a facade

Some “unlimited” is deceiving tho because PTO counts against utilization. Like Huron.

Good thing we don’t have utilization targets. Unlike Accenture.

25 days since I started as a consultant many yrs ago, now SM and the same. To clarify taking PTO doesn’t count against your utilization / chargeability at ACN, its completely removed from the calcs. Unlike Deloitte as I hear from my friends there it does count against their utilization. We don’t have separate sick days though.

like

Hurons utilization calc excludes PTO from the denominator. Either way unlimited is nice but agree at times you fee pressure to take less. Some years I’ve taken upwards of 8 or 9 weeks and other times it’s closer to 3 to 4

@H1 we do have utilization targets, but they are much less widely pushed/publicized than they are at other firms. They also aren’t the end all be all for promotion (saying this from experience). And pretty sure our PTO doesn’t count against utilization

Our policy changed but I started out of school with 25 and earned 2 extra based on years of service

like

22 days PTO if you’re manager or above or if you’ve been here at least two years. 15 days otherwise. Unlimited sick days, which for me is a huge plus. Sick leave covers yourself or your family, so if you stay home to take care of a sick kid you can count that as sick leave. They recently updated the parental leave policy but I’m not sure of the changes, they seem to be well received though

like

As an associate at PwC, I only got 15 days, but I did not take them all because it will hurt my utilization so bad, and my manager is always super good at reminding me how utilization is so important for an associate.

Sounds like there is a lot of variability between people at the same companies specifically EY and PWC

Nobody mentioned that EY let’s you buy up to 10 PTO days. And if you don’t use it they buy it back at year end. Handy for things like honey moons
