I take it you are trying to request off time around the holidays? Every company I have worked at makes it impossible to take holiday time off. They usually have black out dates that we aren't even allowed to request off.

If you are trying to take off around Christmas, its usually a combination of those days are spoken for at the beginning of the year by the planners & management is used to people calling out to burn PTO as well so its th trying to cover staffing needs. If it helps, they cant deny LOA

When doing profitability calculation or NPV, do interviewers usually ask candidates to come up with their own estimates/assumptions for costs, both one-time and recurring?

I am a new associate (1 month in mid-tier firm) and I struggle to get work to fill up the whole day. In honest time, i get about 3-5 billable hours a day. Am I going to get in trouble or fired over this?? I am putting my best efforts when I do get work and I ask for work sometimes. At this point I feel like I am being annoying too…

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
