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.
