At GS in a coverage group now 


Didn’t see or hear of any first year analysts in my group taking vacation between the day they hit the desk in August until end of December of their first year. They started taking their first vacations about a month or so ago. 

Thanksgiving and Christmas/new years week allows WFH/remote working generally though

 

Also forgot to add even though you are technically allotted 22 days in the payroll system or whatever it is, it is more realistically like one full week of vacation in the spring and one full week of vacation in the fall/winter, most groups don’t usually want analysts to take vacay during the summer when the summer interns are here — but it can be group dependent. 

 

Do vac days get carried over? My offer letter is a bit vague about this.
