I hear you and I'm glad you use your unlimited PTO. I will say, however, that I use that amount of days plus have guaranteed accrued PTO that must be paid out if I leave the firm. I'm not sure what you get with unlimited PTO that is better than guaranteed days.

- Free phone
- Capital IQ acess (pro version, all subscriptions included)
- Local news subscriptions (depends on geo)
- Recharge days (1 free day every month/2 months)
- PTO carry (I assume other firms may have this)
- Limited, but large, international data on phones

While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?
