Why do top firms offer such limited PTO? I’ve heard apart from EY, other Big 4 and large mid size only offer about 15 vacation days for a senior. I’m curious how people feel about that. I personally prefer unlimited PTO, but I’m not trying to go to EY. 😅

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to build a career within the ESG consulting and strategy space. I am in a career transition phase and have a tax consultancy background from a Big 4 for 5+ years.

While I am still in the process of upskilling myself and gaining the required knowledge, could you help me with referring my CV or with some leads?
