I am a recent college graduate starting at a Big Four as an audit staff in a couple of weeks. I view this forum often and have found it very helpful in preparing for the CPA exam.

My question deals with vacation time and what is appropriate for a new hire. I get two weeks of vacation time with an option to purchase a third week. What is typical for new staff on the holidays (thanksgiving and christmas)? Is it appropriate for a new staff to take off the Friday after thanksgiving or the Thursday-Friday after Christmas. I want to earn a reputation of being a hard worker. But at the same time my family lives a few hundred miles from where I will be working and want to know if I will be home for thanksgiving. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Just book time off for the week of Xmas like everyone else. I personally don't take much vacation September to May. I save mine for the summer.

2 weeks? That is rough. Just do what everybody else does.

At my firm there are a lot of extra days around the holidays, ie: this weekend we got Friday/Monday off. 4th of July was on Thur so we got Friday off also. Friday after t-giving is also off, so there are a lot of days that you would want to take off that are firm holidays anyways. So I don't know how your firm works, but with only 2 weeks, I'd hope they'd give you lots of extras lol.
