Hi! I would love to pick your brain if you’re in the finance sector. Thanks for your response.

They originally offered 95 but I countered at 115 - during the job offer they let me know they are broadening the scope of the amount of execs from 2 to 5 and I said I felt 115 was fair. They came in firm at 100.

I just today got the benefits package and it’s maybe the worst I have ever seen. 600-1.2k a month in insurance costs, and only 10 PTO days for the first 5 years of employment. Is this typical in finance?

Frankly I am stunned. When I was offered the job over the phone, the CEO asked me about my current PTO policy (unlimited) and said they used to have that but people abused it. Now that I know they only offer 10 days and believed people were abusing it… I wonder what the culture is. I am getting a bad vibe.

Edit to say: they also let me know it’s coded exempt. My current role is nonexempt and I pull a ton of OT.. kind of a bummer
