When traveling to see family, do you take PTO for the entire time? Or do you prefer to mix in a few work-days when possible? I personally like to take longer visits to family and then work most of the time I’m there. My family are a bunch of night owls, so most of the fun happens after work hours anyway.

i take pto the entire time because there is no ‘quiet’ time around them

Depends on the year and how much PTO I've already taken/need to take for the rest of the year. I'm fine to work a couple of days on vacation if I have some personal space to get stuff done. But I'd rather just take the whole time off because I know I won't get the benefits of a vacation unless I truly disconnect

Yeah that’s a good point. I only get 15 days of PTO every year, so I like to save it as much as I can for fun trips too

I just take off the whole time. When I'm with my family I just prefer to be spending the time with them. And if I try to cram in some work I'll probably not be doing a great job at it, as I won't be giving it my full attention.

I have a very chill family who likes to spend most of their time in front of the TV. It makes it easy to get work in without feeling like I'm missing out on time with them, and then I can save my PTO for travelling.

Smart move. I usually do the same, I take a day or two off for travel and events, then work remotely the rest of the time. Helps keep my PTO bank healthy. Do you ever find it hard to focus with family around?

It does get hard to focus sometimes if there’s a lot of people around me. If I have a brain-heavy task I usually go find an empty room or an outdoor space I can work alone for a bit

I work a few days here and there.

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti
