1st year analyst - 15 days PTO, 3 personal days, and off on all federal holidays. In all, I have about 4 weeks off from work annually (obviously not including weekends).
Did you use all of them?
Started with 10 days PTO which I found to honestly be really hard to manage because you had to be so selective. I also feel it's just light. Either way, I was at 15 days 2 years into the business, which was much nicer. I usually took a week off spread throughout the year and than 2 weeks at Christmas time.
1st Year Analyst - 19 days PTO plus have all federal holidays off. Also have some sick days but can’t imagine I’ll use any with WFH.
Roughly 6 months into this job and haven’t used a lick of PTO. When I’ve traveled at all (just driving up to VT or upstate NY) WFH flexibility allows me to travel Thursday night, work from there Friday then have the weekend and it almost feels like a 3 day weekend.
I see myself using around 50% of my days, I’m an idiot and literally feel bad about taking time off so that limits me a lot hahah.
I get 20 days + 10 sick + NYSE holidays. I consistently use 3 weeks a year for vacations and another 3-4 sick days to organize dentist/doctor/eye doctor appointments.
Use your vacation even if it is just for a long weekend of beer drinking and watching sports. Don't get into the mindset of "I'm a junior so I should be here." Fuck that - you earned the days and deserve to take the time.
10 days PTO, 2 personal days. Associate level. Typically use almost all of them. Does get hard to manage, wanting to take a few Fridays off here and there plus time off around the holidays.
in europe so obviously skewed but get 24 PTO days as an analyst.
15 PTO, 10 sick, 3 personal, like 12-15 paid holidays
35 PTO 10 sick 1st year analyst
Are you hiriing?
It’s essentially unlimited PTO and hybrid work from home most analysts don’t come Monday’s or fridays as long as you get the work done and the team hits the returns our ceo doesn’t give a fuck
20 days of PTO plus 17 paid holiday days throughout the year - 1st year Development analyst
there are 17 holidays?
No we typically get extra days off around the holidays (ex. Dec 23-24 & 26, Wednesday/Friday around Thanksgiving, etc.)
