Recently got an offer from another A and am trying to switch jobs. I have scheduled travel plans this summer with my family as I have 15+ days of PTO remaining.

Is it possible to negotiate PTO in this case? Can I ask for additional PTO or tell them that I have travel plans in August? Would they be able to work it out for me?

    If you tell them now what your plans are (were). They should be okay with it.

      Yes. But sorry if I confused you 😅

      That was just a note on how I like negotiating offers when switching jobs regarding total number of days for PTO per year. I always push for more because it’s very important to me (and I actually say that).

      If the asshole comment is directed toward me. Please address me as my proper title “AM-hole”. I’ve earned it after too many years here.
