Prop Trading Vacations
Hi everyone,
I’m starting a new role in a Chicago Quant firm (Optiver, Akuna, Belvedere, IMC, etc) and have a very generous 4 week of weeks vacation for my first year. I was wondering if it’s similar to banking where I won’t actually really be able to take all of my vacation or if it’s generally more relaxed for the quant traders?
Thanks!

This will most likely be pro-rata right? I have 30 days of PTO and I think with a July start date it ends up being around 8 days until refresh in January. If you think of it like that it makes sense to occasionally take a Friday off toward the end of the year, or close to a holiday or something.
Sorry my reply didn’t actually go direct to you but it’s below - OP
OP here — Yeah I’m pro-rated through the end of year from my start date too. My main question is regarding like the first 12 months is it actually feasible to take a week off 2-3 times to actually use up my vacation days or if it’s frowned upon to actually use it up.
I always see the banking vacation posts where Analysts get 2 weeks technically but the assumption is that you’re not going to really use it, so I was hoping it would be different since I’m in QT.
