We just brought a guy onto our team who specializes in Data Science and Machine Learning.

He's really the only guy on our BI team who has studied it and can do the work. Existing members of the team are interested in furthering their analytical skills and learning Machine Learning, but the new guy seems pretty closed off to showing them his work or teaching them.

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

Already burned most of my PTO interviewing.
