Tell don’t ask

Yeah you’re good if it’s in advance

I never ask unless it’s within a couple of weeks. Just send an email saying FYI here’s my vacation schedule for next 3-6 months. Unless they say anything it’s on them later if they come back. Have never had a problem. Also just update in your resourcing scheduling tool

Yes to some degree but then probably phrase it more like I’m planning on taking vacation xxx and plan to book flights this weekend unless a problem. Within you’re first year I would say is a little different so tell/ask but put a timeline on the response. Once more experienced don’t ask just tell. I was literally off for almost 2 months (so much vacation in that span that I wasn’t staff able). Sent an email to my partner with my vacation dates and her response was “so you’re not staffable through the end of the year (vacation was November and December)” and my response was “yeah pretty much”

Anyone have perspective on how MBB (specifically Bain) benefits are better than big 4? I heard Bain contributes 4.5% of salary to your 401k regardless of any employee contributions, which is great. Any other big perks that make their benefits package superior to others (eg. Big 4)?

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?

This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.
