When I used to have 5 weeks, I would still make sure to book a week every quarter, save the last week’s worth on everything else.

Also do you use sick days as PTO? If so, how?

We still have separate sick days, but I think they are changing that soon.

Following, because my bonus is tied to it (via utilization) so I don’t nearly use as much

Wait, what?? You bonus is tied to how much you use the PTO you earn??

I get around 20 days I try to keep around 6 for medical appointments and I wanted to use around 5 before the holiday break to have a two week vacation around Christmas but flights are very expensive at the moment

We get 4 weeks, I use one in the summer and 3 during the holiday season.

I have an urgent situation that I need advice for: what job to take? I currently have 2 job offers. Offer A (Scientist 3): 70k with full benefits including 15 PTO days and 5k tuition assistance yearly. It was sent to me last Wednesday and yesterday they left me a voicemail asking for a decision at my earliest convenience. Offer B (Manager): 76k with full benefits minus tuition assistance and only 5 PTO days first year (15 days after). Both companies said they'd groom me to take management roles.

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
