Is it allowed to use paid time off when leaving analyst gig earlier than clawback period?

Just got an offer for a buyside position 1 year out and Im now wondering if it is ok for me to leave a month early from my current banking gig? There is a clawback if I leave before 2 years but I have 2 weeks of PTO from last year + 2 more weeks for 2021. Has anyone attempted this and get paid for a full month after making the decision to quit? Would doing something like this be seen as bad etiquette or perfectly fine?

I think this is doable. Worst case ontario you may have to come back for like a day on the back end. I have a friend who took all his PTO (4 weeks) and then came back to the office for a week where he did absolutely nothing to collect his bonus and then bounced. You may want to feel it out with a VP-ish person you trust though because it could rub some people the wrong way.
