When you’re considering job offers and the benefits at each company, how many PTO days are the norm? What’s considered “good”? Is there an industry standard or average in the US?

Unlimited is the best! /s

funny

Unlimited is a myth.. 😂

Any place that starts with 2 weeks is subpar to me and I wouldn’t take an offer - seen that in some pharmaceutical industries

like

Yeah I just signed an offer in pharma consulting and got 3 weeks. Could be worse. Could be better.

20 is average 25 is good 30 is great. Unlimited depends. 15 sucks

like

It would say 20 is fairly standard if not slightly good for most industry roles

I wonder if any place outside of consulting are offering 25

I guess I have to sign an SOW for an example

15-20 is standard. 21-28 is ideal/great.

Need advice. My sister is in a DV relationship. I haven’t seen her in over a decade. A friend reached out and let me know she was in trouble. I traveled from another city to check in on her and she was not at her house. I found out that she and her soon to be ex are in a secluded lake house and I don’t know the location of said vacation home. I feel like I need to do a wellness check on her but I’m not sure how to proceed. Any advice fellow Fishies?

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?

Job would pay for MBA 100% including all tuition, books, etc. because of a partnership with University of Hartford. I understand that normally it would not make sense to go to a lower tier school in most cases, but any benefits of doing so in this case?

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?
