Wondering how common common/forced "winter breaks" are as PTO in tech companies? As in, "we are picking these weeks, then you get a couple weeks you choose"? Is it good?

That’s consulting. If you are going to work 50+ hours a week, I think winter breaks are a good thing.

I work in consulting. I have seen some companies do this to force PTO over the holidays. I am asking about the companies which require this for their FT employees. I can't remember when I haven't worked wayyyy more than 50 hrs a week. But I don't like being told when to take time off. Considering going from a 1099 to 1040 corp2corp to a straight employer relationship again, from an intermediary and contract work.

I do not work in consulting. We have this.

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?

I’ve been casually looking for a 2 BR to buy in Manhattan. Yes I have student debt and no generational wealth here. Just looking for some moderately priced (for NY) fixer-upper to invest time in. BUT, the maintenance fees associated with some of the units I’ve seen are mind boggling. $700k for the unit (okay), $6k/mo. for maintenance (HOW? WHY?!). My mind is blown by maintenance fees, esp when there are buildings with bare min amenities. Idgi. Any tips?

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
